How does Bamboo Cluster works?

Nat Tsai_vj77gb

I have two Bamboo Server in a cluster, first start Bamboo Server1 everything is fine, but when I start Bamboo server2, will become Active not standby, it's very weird, and the listener port also switches to server2

I think when Bamboo Server1 started, Bamboo Server2 will become to standby, until Bamboo Server1 goes down Server2 will become active

Maybe I misconfiguration or does anyone have some idea?

 

My bamboo-init.properties:

bamboo.home=/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo/
bamboo.shared.homed=/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo/shared

Hello @Nat Tsai, 

Indeed, the Bamboo Standby node is expected to take over as an Active node only after 5 minutes of missing heartbeats on the DB from the current Active node. As your shared filesystem configuration looks correct I would advise you to check the shared filesystem for any inconsistencies such as not providing the same file simultaneously between each mounted node.

I would also check for the Database address listed on <bamboo-home>/bamboo.cfg.xml and validate if both instances are connecting to the same DB.

When the immediate takeover happens, do you see the "Active" node stopping/being killed?

You can check if you have any BAMBOO_HOME environment variables declared either globally or on <bamboo-install>/bin/setenv.sh (usually at the beginning of the file) that might be breaking the startup process.

If you still see things are not working properly, I advise you to open a support ticket on https://support.atlassian.com/contact so we can help you in detail.
