The master tboamapp is responsible for these roles:

• Starting the election process if another tboamapp instance is detected/lost
• Replicating packages (files + binaries) from primary to secondary host
• Managing/monitoring all the other Toolpack applications running on its host(ensuring that they are always running)
• Selecting configuration database(s) (primary or secondary)
• Creating/upgrading the configuration database
• Applying package upgrades throughout the system
• Installing firmware and licenses on the device hardware

Slave

The master tboamapp is responsible for these roles:

• Starting election process if another tboamapp instance is detected/lost
• Managing all the other Toolpack applications running on its host(ensuring that they are always running)

High Availability

Tboamapp is a Master/Slave type application. Every time a tboamapp instance is detected or lost, an election process is triggered. The election process will select one tboamapp instance to become master, and the other will be slave. If it is available, the tboamapp running on the primary host will always win the election process; therefore, the master will always fall back to the primary host when available.
