ADF Self hosted integration runtime choose main node

Question

In the ADF Self Hosted integration runtime, I have two nodes. Can I choose one IR node as the main and the other as secondary? If there is a third one, can I choose the order in which each one is picked? I could use low tier VMs for second and third hence the question.

Answer 1

I think we cannot,the nodes of the self-hosted integration runtime in ADF will automatically switch when one node stops. We can reference this article to setting up Self-Hosted IR HA enabled. But the role of the node is automatically switched.

After that, we can run a test. At first, Self-Host is a Dispatcher/worker role.

When I stop Self-Host manually, we can see Selft-Host2's role switched to Dispatcher/worker automatically.
