12.4.3 Testing Node Agent and appserver failover

Now that you configured VCS to manage the Node Agent, we recommend to test if everything works as expected. You can perform the following possible tests:

1. Shutting down the system where the Node Agent is running.

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

3. Deleting the pid.file.

In our setup, for all of these test scenarios, VCS realized the failure and switched the Node Agent 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.
