High Availability
I have a single LM unit and I just bought another single LM unit, how do I set up my units as a Ha-Pair?
Under the WUI, on your single unit that is already configured:
- In the System Configuration > Miscellaneous Option > HA Parameters > Select HA (First) Mode section select Yes.
- In the System Configuration > eth0 interface section:
- Enter in the shared IP address and click Set address
- Enter in the partner IP address and click Set address
- Reboot this unit.
This unit will now become HA-1.
On your new single unit, connect the VGA monitor and keyboard to your unit. Under the console menu, follow the setup guide on setting up the LM and enter in the physical IP address, LM name and default gateway of the unit. Then reboot the unit. Once the unit has rebooted, log onto the physical IP address of the unit in the web browser:
- In the WUI, go to System Configuration > Miscellaneous Option > HA Parameters > Select HA (Second mode) Mode section and select Yes
- In the System Configuration > eth0 interface section:
- Enter in the shared IP address and click Set address
- Enter in the partner IP address and click Set address
- Reboot this unit.
This unit will now become HA-2.
The HA-pair is now set up and settings/configuration can be viewed and/or modified in the shared (management) IP address
