Configuring High Availability
NOTE: When you install an NSM regional server in an HA configuration with
a shared disk, you must first revert the system to factory default values using
the boot menu. See
“Installing an NSM4000 ISO Image on the NSM4000
Appliance Using a USB Drive” on page 97 for details.
The following options are available to configure high availability (HA) on the regional
server.
• High Availability—Enter 1 to turn HA on or off.
• Primary Status—Enter 2 to specify the NSM4000 appliance as either the primary or
secondary server. At the next prompt, enter y for the primary server. Enter n for a
secondary server.
•
HA Remote IP—Enter

to specify the IP address for the HA peer in the HA cluster.
•
HA Link Failure Detection IP—Enter
4
to specify the IP address of a machine outside
the HA cluster that you can ping to verify connection status.
•
HA Inter-server password—Enter
5
to specify the heartbeat password used between
the primary and secondary servers.
• Menu: Shared Disk—Enter 6 to open a menu to help you configure a shared disk.
NSM4000 appliances support shared disks with NFS only. Because of the data-intensive
nature of NSM, we recommend gigabit speed links (1000 Mbps) for shared disk usage.
For more information on options available to you for custom settings, refer to the
Network and Security Manager Installation Guide .
• Menu: HA Links—Enter 7 to open a menu to help you configure the second HA link in
the HA cluster. Use the items in this menu to set up a redundant link for 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” in
“Configuring Standard
Configuration Options” on page 56 for more information). 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 .
