 Re: Managment HA
1/Install primary management server and firewalls
2/Install SmartCenter Server on a secondary management station. At install time, configure it as a secondary management server.
3/Create a secondary management server in SmartDashboard. Establish SIC. Install database on the secondary management server (important for logging failover).
4/ Policy -> Management High Availability - synchronise the secondary.
5/ Global Properties -> Management HA - configure the options you want for automatic sync.
6/ On each firewall object, change the masters to include both management stations. Configure the logging as required - generally you will configure it to log to one of the management stations, then fail over to the other if required. Install policy to the firewalls.
That's pretty much all there is to it. Of course, if there are any firewalls between the management stations, they will need to be updated to allow comms between the management stations. |
