OK, but I think its best to always the redirection only points to virtual IP.
I logon to console on both boxes and ping respective sync interfaces, no RTO, but the master shifted.
Also why does when it shifted, we need to relogin again to the portal, and it does'nt carry the record of already login users to the next master?
When I shutdown either master or backup. Yes, it still work.
For now I think it still best to run CP alone or CARP alone, but not both on same machine.
additional question
How many CP users it can accomodate?
My CP seetings for Hard timeout is 720minutes or 12 hours.
CP users always displaying portal page cannot continue anymore. already logon users can internet. Reboot fixed the problem temporarily for a day.
Since 2.0Beta to 2.0RC1, when ever CP users reaches or below 50.
2.0RC3, when ever CP users reaches more than 50 or more than 100.
