DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL High Availability overview 3 Universal time-based licensing After v6.3.0, Web Tools supports universal time-based licensing. Each universal key is for a single feature, and can be used on any product that supports the feature, for a defined trial period. At the end of the trial period, the feature gets disabled. You can extend the universal key license. For time-based licenses, the Expiry Date displays in the License Administration table (refer to Figure 16 on page 47). The following features are supported for universal time-based license: • Fabric • Extended Fabric • Performance Monitor • Trunking • High-Performance Extension over FCIP/FC • Fabric Watch • Integrated Routing • Adaptive Networking • Server Application Optimization High Availability overview High-Availability (HA) features provide maximum reliability and nondisruptive replacement of key hardware and software modules. High Availability is available only on the Brocade 48000 and Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for additional information about High Availability. The High Availability window, as shown in Figure 18, displays information about the status of the HA feature on each control processor (CP), and enables you to perform CP failover. The background color of the HA button indicates the overall status of high availability on the switch. The colors and their meanings are: • Green-Healthy: HA Status is HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized. • Yellow-Disruptive mode: HA Status is HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State not in sync. • Red-HA is unavailable: HA Status is Non-Redundant. Admin Domain considerations HA is possible if the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain. If switch is not a member of current Admin Domain, the Synchronize Services and Initiate Failover buttons are unavailable. Launching the High Availability window Use the following procedure to launch the High Availability window. 1. Select a Brocade 48000, Brocade DCX, or Brocade DCX-4S from the Fabric Tree.
