Moving and Reinstalling After Crash

If a target is moving and the new domain manager detects the occurrence of a reinstall after crash (RAC), the move operation will take precedence over the reinstall functionality. After a successful move, the RAC operation is invoked to reinstall all moved job records.

Reinstall after crash is initiated if the UUID (Universal Unique Identifier) changes after the target has registered to the new domain manager, but before the move operation is completed.

Note: If the target is reinstalled during the physical move (that is, before the move operation has been initiated), no move of job records will occur, because the software delivery (SD) agent holds the previous domain manager address, and this information is lost after a reinstall of the agent or operating system.

If a target has moved to a new domain manager, and RAC is detected for the target on the previous domain manager, the move operation will be postponed until the remote RAC has completed.

For example, the SD agent was connected to a scalability server downstream of the previous domain manager before it moved to the current domain manager. The target has executed all RAC jobs, but the scalability server has still not reported the RAC results to its domain manager. When the scalability server has reported the RAC results to its domain manager, the move of records between the two domain managers takes place.
