One Content Manager service is designated to become active at startup. All other Content Manager services start up in standby mode. Only one Content Manager service can be active at any time. You can manually activate a Content Manager service that is in standby mode in the server administration tool. When you activate a service, any currently active service switches to standby mode. You can also specify a Content Manager service which is currently standby as the default active service at startup.
