AppFabric named cache, what happens if you lose a cache host?
- by Liam
I'm getting my head around how app fabric clustering works and there's something I'm not sure about.
Given a structure where we have one named cache, with two lead hosts and (say) three cache hosts and high availability turned off and the lead host(s) performing the management role.
When one cache host goes down do you loose the data that was on that cache host?
In this MSDN article it states:
Data on the non-lead hosts would be lost (assuming high availability
was not enabled), but the rest of the cluster could continue serving
and storing data
But I was unsure if redundancy is built into the system. Would you loose x amount of data or would one of the other cache hosts store this data also and pick up the slack?
