(see page 559 ).

IMPORTANT: System behavior
Your Redundancy Group offers no redundancy until you have configured
one Application Server in the role of Backup.
Note: You can view the last time the Main Application Server was replicated on the
iControl—Redundancy configuration page of the Backup Application Server, in the
Last replication result column. Initially, there will be no timestamp because the
Backup initiates its first replication after the Main has been added. If a replication is in
progress, then Running will be displayed.
