Sorry for unclear question. I mean, when I shut down the server the messages and the connection will be not failed over to another node. The fail-over policy is only triggered by crashed condition not normal shut down condition, isn't it? If a server is shut down, because for example I want to add some components in my server, the messages and connections will not be failed over. Why does shut down not get the same policy like when the server is crashed? Is there any problem that make you differ the crashed and shut down situation? Thank you for your respond.
