IT Process Automation

We would like to run two PAM servers as PAM cluster using F5 balancer. We plan to use this PAM cluster for processing some types of PAM processes using file trigger. We need to be able to run PAM processes via file trigger even if one of these PAM server is not running. Is it possible to have file trigger folder structure outside of PAM servers? Is there some recommendation for using file trigger with PAM cluster?

The Trigger features are run on the 'Master' node, so even if one of your Orchestrator nodes is down the trigger feature will continue to start instances.

Hello Michael,

do you mean that when the first node is down the second node become 'Master' and on this second node can file trigger start instances?  A file trigger input directory is located inside PAM installation directory so each PAM node has its own "triggers" folder. Is it possible to place this trigger input directory to some share outside of these PAM nodes and let actual 'Master' node to pickup files from this share?

Thank you,

Milan

Yes, if the master node goes down a secondary node will assume Master duties.   

You will need to put your trigger location somewhere that is accessible to all orchestrators with the same file address, something like:
\\shareserver\triggerfolder\

Thank you Michalel for your help.
