Scheduled Job from PAM

[Pankaj Kumar]

Hi SME's,

We have a scheduled job to verify all password daily in the morning . Does it run from all the nodes or just primary node ?  We have a cluster of 3 nodes .

Regards

Pankaj Kumar

Hello Pankaj,

As far as I have seen in my environment the scheduled jobs are executed from the primary node in the cluster.

Thanks,

Reatesh.

Hi Pankaj, In the latest releases, specifically from 3.3.1 on, all primary site nodes that are NOT in maintenance mode participate in scheduled jobs.

Hi @Ralf Prigl

Does it mean a scheduled job is run from all nodes at same time ?  Eg ..4000 accounts needs to verified , We have 3 nodes in cluster , so 12000 accounts are verified at same time ?​​​

[Ralf Prigl]

Hi Pankaj, No, of course not. Each node would process about one third of the accounts in the job.

Hi @Ralf Prigl,

Interesting , is it documented somewhere ?​

[Ralf Prigl]

Hello Pankaj, Yes, this was documented as an enhancement in the 3.3.1 documentation, see e.g. https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/identity-security/privileged-access-manager/3-3-1/release-information/new-features-and-enhancements-in-3-31.html#concept.dita_97029b778cfd380e0edca2b1b71f2be6a0289cf2_MultithreadedPasswordRotationforPrimarySiteClusterMembers.
