Alright, back at work after the Easter holiday, so can check more now
I currently enable the following probes with HA:
data_engine, nis_server, audit, sla_engine, qos_engine, assetmgmt, ace,
relationship_services, fault_correlation_engine, cm_data_import, ppm,
topology_agent and service_host.
It's all kinda based on trial and error, and the fact that I want to
have as many of the probes always running as possible. I consider
starting a probe a step that could fail and twart the failover. So the
more I have always running, the less will fail during failover.
I believe they added support in the data_engine to run multiple
instances of it a few versions back. After that it's been working quite
well. Not have any problems with it. Can't remember id there was any
specific config keys I set, but didn't see any when I briefly looked at
it now.
Other than than it's just a matter of redirecting your message flow by
enabling the get queues.
We've done a couple failovers, and so far it seems to be a success.
