Hello,
I should move the resources reservation db from my old server to a new one.
I have followed the checklist below .

Now I have finished and it is always the old server which autoprocess the resources ’ responses… I have
tried to stop the old server and restart all the calendar tasks but the requests are treated when the old server restart…
Any ideas ???

Hello,
After a lot of search I found a way… in fact I just remove the old server from the cluster and everything works fine on the new server. I’m glad but I feel a little bit frustrated because I don’t understand why.
Greetings
Subject: The “Why” you seek
The processing of R&R requests is cluster savvy and tries to be efficient about request processing. Control is handled by the R&R Home Server (aka Administration Server) and a clustermate. We do not perform ‘failback’ to the Home Server in cases where failover has happened. Control only returns to the Home Server when the clustermate fails. This was done to avoid wasting CPU / IO and to avoid having any delays in processing of requests.
So just because you changed your Home Server, control remained where it was since we wanted to be efficient and not slow things down by trying to pass control back. There may be times when although the server is back up, its not ready for use (eg: need to fixup multiple dBs including R&R) so passing control back would only cause delays in R&R processing.
When you changed the Home Server all you did was change where the control would fail over to when it happens again. Since there was no compelling need to make the new Home Server pick up the baton, nothing will happen until your current R&R server fails or you take the Home Server out of the cluster (which you did).
