High availability clusters

A high availability (HA) cluster consists of exactly two encryption engines configured to host the
same CryptoTargets and to provide Active/Standby failover and failback capabilities in a single
fabric. One encryption engine can take over encryption and decryption tasks for the other
encryption engine if that member fails or becomes unreachable.

NOTE

High availability clusters between two encryption engines (EEs) should not be confused with High
Availability opaque mode that is supported in KMIP.

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.

NOTE

An IP address is required for the management port for any cluster-related operations.
