Notes on System Configuration:
The configuration assistant asks for the
maximum
number of devices you wish to allow in
your system. If you select a number that is too low for future expansion, you may be forced to
incur system down-time in order to reconfigure the system at a later time.
If you wish to have High Bandwidth ContentBridges configured in High Availability (HA) pairs,
make sure to specify number of ContentBridges for a cluster as +1 for every HA pair. For
example, if you have
two
ContentBridges that you wish to be an HA pair, specify the
maximum number of High Bandwidth ContentBridges as
three
