Hallo everyone,
Is there a way to automatically start SAP DI instances in an ACTIVE/ACTIVE Windows ASCS cluster when one of the nodes becomes available after it was offline?
Here is what happens in our environment (Windows 2008 R3, MS SQL 2008 R2, ECC6 EHP7). After one of the servers goes offline (say node 2) and it returns to service, it does not start the SAP DI (disp+work.exe). We have to manually do that from the SAP MMC. This means that after a server (node 2) returns from an offline event such as a restart, SAP is no longer in a HA environment. Should the first server (node 1) go offline, there is no DI started on the second server (node 2) to support end users. Is this the expected default behavior?
Is there a way that when a node restarts, that it can check to see if the ACSC is active, and if so start the DI? If not, then stay off line. Or is that at least a way to notify the administrators that the system is no longer HA?
