About Integration Appliance States

Integration Appliances in a High Availability (HA) pair can be in one of many states. States for Integration Appliances in an HA pair include:

States for Integration Appliances in an HA pair include:
ACTIVE_1
The Active machine cannot communicate with the Standby machine; however, the Active machine continues to process data.
ACTIVE_2
The Active machine is successfully processing data and can communicate with the peer HA machine.
IDLE
Displays when the Active machine or Standby machine encounters a hardware or software problem. An IDLE state helps to ensure data integrity between an HA pair. IDLE is not always an error state.
For example, the Active machine enters an IDLE state when it power cycles and remains in this state until it can verify the state of the Standby machine.
STANDBY
The Standby machine is successfully synchronizing with the Active machine.
TRANSITIONING
Can occur immediately before or after rebooting. Typically, a machine in an HA pair remains in this state after rebooting long enough to perform some initialization, find its peer, and then transition into the appropriate state.
UNKNOWN
Occurs when the peer machine is unavailable. For example, when a Standby machine is powered off, the Active machine states that the state of the peer machine (Standby machine) is UNKNOWN.
