12.3.3 Testing Deployment Manager failover

Now that you configured VCS to manage the Deployment Manager, we recommend to test if everything works as expected. Three possible tests you could do, are:

1. Shutting down the system where the Deployment Manager is running.

2. Killing the Deployment Manager process using the kill -9 command (on UNIX or Linux).

3. Deleting the pid.file.

In all of these test scenarios, VCS as we set it up realized the failure and switched the Deployment Manager to the second system.

These tests are just examples of possible test scenarios. You can try any other test that might better fulfill your needs.
