The
Verde
HotPair
configuration
features
two
master
nodes,
designated
as
the
primary
master
node
and
secondary
master
node
.
During
normal
operation,
one
master
node
is
designated
the
active
node
,
and
the
other
is
the
standby
node
.
The
active
node
handles
all
data
traffic,
while
the
standby
node
monitors
the
status
of
the
active
node.
If
the
active
node
experiences
a
failure,
the
standby
node
assumes
its
role
and
becomes
the
active
node.
When
replaced
the
failed
master
node
assumes
the
standby
role.
Before
you
continue,
choose
one
Verde
master
node
to
be
the
primary
node.
At
the
end
of
the
procedure,
the
primary
master
node
is
configured
as
the
active
node.
