Help with failover

[Michael T]

I have 2 master servers that attach to a shared NAS which holds the nagios
configs and status data basically /etc and /var. When the primary goes down
there's an event handler that mounts the NAS on the backup and starts
nagios. When I implemented this setup I thought it would be beneficial in
the sense that I would have all the status data retained from the primary
instance. This is not the case when I initiate a failover the backup system
which mounts all the same data that the primary had prior to being brought
down doesn't see any saved status data all checks are in a pending state
until the distributed servers send new check data via nsca. The other
confusing thing is that if I fail it back over to the primary it see's the
old saved status data.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks in advance
Michael
