Issue

  • In a clustered environment if we restart the nodes at the same time for a deployment, schedulers and information can be lost. 

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.3

Resolution

  • The issue described above is caused by not starting clustered nodes sequentially which is considered to be a bad practice.
  • With the non-sequential restart we introduce a race condition to our system. If one of the nodes with a previous 'slave' status gets elected as a 'master' that node will not have the information we initialized before, therefore it will be lost.
  • In general for DXP it is a requirement to start the nodes sequentially. This means that you need to wait until a node fully starts up, before starting the second one.
