Chapter 3: Set Up and Configure an SHA Cluster 4. Sign in to NAS-B using the high-availability cluster IP address. The high-availability cluster status will show that NAS-B is the active server and NAS-A is undetectable. In this case, NAS-A and NAS-B are both acting as the active server.1 5. Make some changes to the data in the shared folder Share1 of NAS-B to create differences (data inconsistencies) between the files on each server. 6. After about ten minutes, reconnect NAS-A's Heartbeat interface and the primary cluster interface network cable. Once NAS-A and NAS-B are reconnected, the system will start to consolidate the data. When the system discovers that the data is inconsistent (split-brain error), the High Availability cluster will enter Safe Mode. 7. After waiting some time, sign in to DSM (NAS-A) via one of the server's IP address. You will see that the high-availability cluster status displays Split-brain error. Notes: 1. If you do not see the split-brain error status, it means that the simulation was unsuccessful. Plug your devices back in and follow the steps from the beginning of this section to try again. 17

4. Sign in to NAS-B using the high-availability cluster IP address. The high-availability cluster
status will show that NAS-B is the active server and NAS-A is
undetectable
. In this case,
NAS-A and NAS-B are both acting as the active server.

5. Make some changes to the data in the shared folder
Share1
of NAS-B to create differences
(data inconsistencies) between the files on each server.
6. After about ten minutes, reconnect NAS-A’s Heartbeat interface and the primary cluster
interface network cable. Once NAS-A and NAS-B are reconnected, the system will start to
consolidate the data. When the system discovers that the data is inconsistent (split-brain
error), the High Availability cluster will enter Safe Mode.
7. After waiting some time, sign in to DSM (NAS-A) via one of the server’s IP address. You will
see that the high-availability cluster status displays
Split-brain error
.
Notes:
1. If you do not see the split-brain error status, it means that the simulation was
unsuccessful. Plug your devices back in and follow the steps from the beginning of this
section to try again.
