Probing Algorithm and Functionality for the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System Local Distributor

The probing of the Local Distributor is done by pmf only.

The following steps are executed to monitor the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System Local Distributor.

1. If the process of the Local Distributor has died, pmf will immediately restart the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System Local Distributor.

2. If the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System Local Distributor is repeatedly restarted and subsequently exhausts the Retry_count within the Retry_interval, then a failover is initiated for the resource group onto another node. This is done if the resource property Failover_enabled is set to TRUE.
