Preemption not reverting AP's back to primary LMS.

  • 1.  Preemption not reverting AP's back to primary LMS.

    Posted Jul 25, 2017 05:54 PM

    I currently have HA running on two controllers (locals) on dual mode (preemption enabled) and LMS enabled with the default 600 second timer. We have a couple of sites with the same setup and in most cases the AP's will stay on the primary but have a few sites where AP's fail-over to the backup local and never revert back to the primary.

     

    I checked the HA heartbeat counters and don't show anything missed between controllers. I also tried on manually moving the AP's (ap-move) to the primary LMS and they move back to the backup. The network is stable between to the two controllers that should make the AP's revert back to the primary. Is there other atturbites that are taken into account before the AP's reverts back to the primary controller?
