Administration Guide Changing the promotion threshold and failover threshold Changing the promotion threshold and failover threshold Each primary and standby BlackBerry® Enterprise Server instance has a failover threshold and a promotion threshold. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses the failover threshold when it is an primary instance to determine when it needs to demote itself, and it uses the promotion threshold when it is a standby instance to determine whether it can promote itself to become the primary instance. You can configure the thresholds for each BlackBerry Enterprise Server pair. Change the promotion threshold and failover threshold and the order of the health parameters You can change the promotion threshold and failover threshold and the order of the health parameters to meet the requirements of your organization. 1. In the BlackBerry® Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand High availability > Highly available BlackBerry Enterprise Servers. 2. Click the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server pair that you want to change the health parameters and thresholds for. 3. Click Edit Automatic Failover settings. 4. To change the order of the health parameters and thresholds, click the Up and Down icons. 5. Click Save. Health parameters for the failover threshold and promotion threshold Health parameter Wireless network access BlackBerry Dispatcher BlackBerry Messaging Agent User accounts Connection to the messaging server(s) Description This health parameter indicates whether the BlackBerry® Router can access the wireless network. You cannot configure the failover threshold or promotion threshold so that they are above this health parameter. This health parameter indicates whether the BlackBerry Dispatcher can compress and encrypt all of the data that BlackBerry devices send and receive. You cannot configure the failover threshold or promotion threshold so that they are above this health parameter. This health parameter indicates whether the BlackBerry Messaging Agent is available and connected to the BlackBerry Dispatcher. This health parameter indicates whether a preconfigured percentage of user accounts are started in the BlackBerry Messaging Agent. This health parameter indicates whether the BlackBerry Messaging Agent can connect to the messaging server.

Changing the promotion threshold and failover threshold
Each primary and standby BlackBerry® Enterprise Server instance has a failover threshold and a promotion threshold.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses the failover threshold when it is an primary instance to determine when it
needs to demote itself, and it uses the promotion threshold when it is a standby instance to determine whether it
can promote itself to become the primary instance.
You can configure the thresholds for each BlackBerry Enterprise Server pair.
