Configuring failover

In the failover scenario described in this section, the primary and secondary servers share a single database. The primary server is a standard Netcool/Precision TN server, while the secondary server is a very limited (cold) server whose only purpose is to detect when the primary server goes down. This secondary server does not maintain connections to the NEs in the network nor bind to the RMI registry. It also performs no security checks, and as a result, remote clients in this configuration do not have access to the secondary server.
