11.3.5 Test Load Balancer High Availability

The High Availability configuration is now complete.

You may test the failover by issuing the command dscontrol executor stop on the command line of your primary server.

You should still be able to access your store through the host name that resolves to the cluster IP address. The High Availability status for your standby server, when selecting High Availability in the left pane of the Load Balancer GUI, should now be active while the role is still backup.

Note that dsserver stop is not sufficient to stop load balancing. The executor will continue running. To completely stop load balancing, first stop executor, then dsserver.
