To view status of all members in a cluster
1. Click Configuration > System > Maintenance > Clustering .
2.
All appliances in the cluster are displayed.
It is also possible to reboot and shutdown other nodes in the cluster from this page.
3. To identify the cluster master, the role is displayed in the list of all appliances.
TIP
When logged into the Web UI of a cluster node, the role of the node is also shown in the header of the user
interface.
To change which appliance is the master
1.
Turn clustering off on the appliance that is currently the master.
2. Wait for the standby appliance to become the master.
3. On the original master appliance, turn clustering back on. This appliance will now be the standby appliance.
Configuring Exinda Appliances for clustering
Before configuring clustering, the Exinda Appliances must be correctly cabled. It is recommended that each appliance in
the cluster be connected and configured with a dedicated management port.
In addition, clustering requires a dedicated interface for traffic that is internal to the cluster. Any interface that is not
bridged or in use for another role (e.g., Mirror or WCCP) may be used..
The table below lists the suggested cluster interface for each hardware series.
Hardware Series Cluster Interface
2000/4000 (EOL) eth1 (with Bridge 0 disabled)
4060/4061 eth2
5000 eth1
6000 eth5 (with Bridge 2 disabled)
6010 eth1
6060 eth2
7000 eth1
8060 eth2
10060 eth2
Where there are two appliances in a cluster, the cluster interfaces may be connected directly to each other with a
CAT 5 cross-over cable.
