Configuring <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> for HA<br />

Once you have configured a heartbeat burb for each <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

and have verified network connectivity between the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s<br />

on the heartbeat interface, you can configure the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s for<br />

HA. Follow the steps below.<br />

Important: It is recommended that you perform a system backup before configuring<br />

HA. See “Backing up system files” on page A-4 for details.<br />

To configure the first <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> in a new HA cluster, follow the<br />

steps below.<br />

1. Connect to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> that will become the primary using the<br />

Note: If you are planning to configure a load sharing or peer-to-peer HA cluster, it<br />

does not matter which <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> you configure first.<br />

2. Configure all functions and features other than HA.<br />

3. Verify that you have a dedicated heartbeat burb and interface<br />

configured for HA on this <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. See “Configuring the<br />

heartbeat burbs” on page 16-7 for instructions.<br />

4. In the tool bar, click to launch the State Change Wizard. (You can<br />

also access the State Change Wizard by clicking on the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

icon in the Admin Console tree and then clicking State Change Wizard.)<br />

The Welcome window appears. Read the Welcome window and then<br />

click Next.<br />
