Second System Director
You can purchase a second System Director and configure it on the same subnets as the original
System Director. This provides a redundant System Director that is in constant contact with the
original System Director. The second System Director automatically takes over if the original
System Director fails (called failover).
n
For true redundancy it is recommended that you connect the second System Director to a
different engine than the first System Director. The Active and the Standby System Directors must
be the same model server, you cannot mix SR2400s, SR2500s, and AS3000 servers.

similar systems.
