Step 5: Configure Ipswitch Services to Restart on Failure

You can configure Ipswitch Services to automatically restart in the event of a service-level failure.

Network Load Balancing does not support service-level failover. If services continue to fail on the active node, you must induce failover by shutting down the active node.

  1. To open Services, go to Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Right-click the Ipswitch Logging Server service and select Properties.
  3. On the Recovery tab, for First Failure, select Restart the Service, then click OK.
  4. Repeat Steps 2-3 for Ipswitch WS_FTP Web Server$FTPServer, Ipswitch Notification Server, Ipswitch WS_FTP Server, and Ipswitch SSH Server.
