Tests that the system can survive a network crash/stop and resume operation after the becomes available

 

Disable the network/switch/DC for some minutes and see that all batch processes reconnects and continue after restart

  1. login on to kb-test-adm-001 as root and stop the networkinterface by installing a cron-job that does this for you:
    Install script restartNetworkWithWait.sh as root cronjob (Add 0 17 * * * (/root/restartNetworkWithWait.sh) to restart network at 5 PM)

    #!/bin/bash

# stopping network
/etc/init.d/network stop
# waiting 3 minutes
/bin/sleep 3m
# starting network
/etc/init.d/network start
  2. Check that the connection to the GUI is lost. 
  3. After 5 minutes verify the system comes back online
    1. Verify that the GUI pages are working properly.
    2. Create a new active selective harvest definition and verify that a new job is created and started.
    3. Run a batch job or two and verify these work correctly.
