About running commands on the active node

For a clustered OpsCenter server, you must run commands on the active node. You may get unexpected results if you run a command on an inactive node. The command may fail to run and may sometimes result in an unexpected behavior.

For example, running the dbbackup command on an inactive node may result in the following unexpected result:

Command: E:\OpsCenter\server\bin>dbbackup.bat E:\temp

Result: "Could not find Z:\OpsCenter\server\config\db.conf file"

In addition, the OpsCenter service group may failover if the command requires restarting the OpsCenter services. Some OpsCenter commands or utilities like the support utility require restarting the services.
