Failback

Failback is the restoration to normal service of a CA Directory DSA after failing over and recovering.

When a DSA fails, failover operation comes into play. It redirects all requests for the primary DSA from the primary DSA to the secondary DSA. When, later, the primary DSA becomes available again, CA Directory automatically restores the normal situation and requests for the primary DSA are again sent to the primary DSA. CA Directory tries to restore normal operation every five minutes during failover operation.
