2 Creating high availability (HA) clusters 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, 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 task bar. The Encryption Center dialog box displays. 2. Select an encryption group from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select Group > HA Cluster from the menu task bar, or right-click an encryption group and select HA Cluster. NOTE If groups are not visible in the Encryption Center Devices table, select View > Groups from the menu task bar. The Encryption Group Properties dialog box displays, with the HA Clusters tab selected. 3. Select an available encryption engine from the Non HA Encryption Engines table and a destination HA cluster from the High Availability Clusters table. Select New HA Cluster if you are creating a new cluster. 4. Click the right arrow button to add the encryption engine to the selected HA cluster.
