2 Creating high availability (HA) clusters FIGURE 24 Engine Operations tab 2. Select the engine you want to replace in the Engine list. 3. Select the engine you want to use as the replacement in the Replacement list. 4. Click Replace. All containers hosted by the current engine (Engine list) are replaced by the new engine (Replacement list). Creating high availability (HA) clusters A high availability (HA) cluster is a group of exactly two encryption engines. One encryption engine can take over encryption and decryption tasks for the other encryption engine, if that member fails or becomes unreachable. When creating a new HA Cluster, add one engine to create the cluster and then add the second engine. You can make multiple changes to the HA Clusters list; the changes are not applied to the switch until you click OK. Both engines in an HA cluster must be in the same fabric as well as the same encryption group. NOTE An IP address is required for the management port for any cluster-related operations. 1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu bar. The Encryption Center dialog box displays. 2. If groups are not visible in the Encryption Devices table, select View > Groups from the menu bar. The encryption groups display in the Encryption Devices table. 3. Select an encryption group from the tree, and select Group > HA Cluster from the menu bar, or right-click the encryption group and select HA Cluster. Encryption Group Properties are displayed, with the HA Clusters tab selected (Figure 25). Available encryption engines are listed under Non-HA Encryption Engines. 46 Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide 53-1001864-01
