About HPC 2019 High availability
Hi All, I would like to inquire about the High availability feature built-in HPC 2019, Can jobs be assigned by two Head nodes simultaneously or only one Head node? If there is only one, how can...
In HPC Pack 2019, a high availability (HA) cluster operates with a single active head node at any given time. Job scheduling is managed exclusively by this active node. The passive head node remains on standby and assumes control only in the event of a failover. The currently active head node can be identified through the HPC Cluster Manager interface or by reviewing the failover cluster role within Windows Server.
