Changing the Weight of a Node

The Weighted Priority Election mode must be set to Enable to perform the following procedure. (To enable the Weight Priority Election mode, see Modifying Cluster Settings.) Roles can be switched manually if the Weighted Priority Election is disabled. See Performing a Manual Switchover.

• Note: If you change a child member’s weight value to be greater than the parent member’s weight value, roles for the two members will switch.

To change the weight value of a node:

1. Go to Administration > IWSVA Configuration > Cluster Management.

2. In the Cluster Members section, click the weight value to be changed.

3. In the Weight screen, change the weight value to reflect the appropriate value. (1-255, higher value = higher priority.)

4. Click Save.

If you change a child member’s weight value to be greater than the parent member’s weight value, and the Weighted Priority Election has been enabled, roles for the two members will be switched.
