This paper considers M[X1],M[X2]/G1,G2/1 general retrial queueing system with priority services. Two types of customers from different classes arrive at the system in different independent compound Poisson processes. The server follows the pre-emptive priority rule subject to working breakdown, startup/closedown time and Bernoulli vacation with general (arbitrary) vacation periods. After completing the service, if there are no priority customers present in the system the server may go for a vacation or close down the system. On completion of the close down, the server needs some time to set up the system. The priority customers who find the server busy are queued in the system. A low-priority customer who find the server busy are routed to a retrial (orbit) queue that attempts to get the service. The system may breakdown at any point of time when it is in operation. However, when the system fails, instead of stopping service completely, the service is continued only to the high priority customers at a slower rate. We consider balking to occur to the low priority customer while the server is busy or idle, and reneging to occur at the high priority customers during server’s vacation, start up/close down time. Using the supplementary variable technique, we derive the joint distribution of the server state and the number of customers in the system. Finally, some performance measures and numerical examples are presented.
