High Availability—Enter

1

to turn HA on or off.

Primary Status—Enter

2

to set the NSM appliance as either the primary or secondary

server. At the next prompt, enter

y

for a primary server; enter

n

for a secondary server.

HA Remote IP—Enter

3

to set the IP address for the HA peer in the HA cluster.

HA Link Failure Detection IP—Enter

4

to set the IP address of a computer outside the

HA cluster that you can ping to verify connection status.

HA Inter-server password—Enter

5

to set the heartbeat password used between the

primary and secondary servers.

Menu: Shared Disk—Enter

6

to open the Shared Disk menu.

The options in this menu help you configure a shared disk. NSM supports shared disk
via NFS only. Due to the data-intensive nature of NSM, we recommend gigabit speed
links (1000 Mbps) for shared disk use. For more information on custom settings, refer
to the

Network and Security Manager Installation Guide

.

1> Shared Disk: Gui Server [n]
 If 'y', data directory for GUI Server
 is a shared disk partition

2> Shared Disk Source (NFS) []
 Source of shared disk, e.g. /dev/sdc1
 or server:/share

3> Shared Disk NFS Mount Options []
 Options when mounting shared disk
 e.g. rw,intr,tcp,soft,timeo=2

4> Return to High Availability menu

Menu: HA Links—Enter

7

to open the HA Links menu.

The options in this menu help you configure the second HA link in the HA cluster. If you
are going to use a second link, you need to set the IP address for eth1 before configuring
this setting (see “Setting Interface Options” on page 26 for details). Setting a redundant
link is optional. For more information on options available to you for custom settings,
refer to the

Network and Security Manager Installation Guide

.

If the HA link count is set to 1, the only options available are to set the HA link count
and to return to the High Availability menu. If the HA link count is set to 2, all options
are available.

1> HA Link count [2]
Number of heartbeat links between the Primary and Secondary
Server.

2> HA Link 2 Local IP []
IP address for this machine's secondary heartbeat link

3> HA Link 2 Remote IP []
IP address for the peer's secondary heartbeat link

4> HA Remote Replication IP []
IP address used for remote HA replications

5> Return to High Availability menu
