Configuring HA<br />

Removing a secondary/<br />

standby from an HA cluster<br />

16-16 High Availability<br />

4. In the Cluster Mode area, enable or disable load sharing by selecting the<br />

appropriate cluster mode as follows:<br />

Designate as part <strong>of</strong> a Load Sharing High Availability Cluster—<br />

Select this option if you want to enable load sharing for the HA<br />

cluster (both <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s actively process traffic).<br />

Designate as part <strong>of</strong> a Primary/Standby High Availability Cluster—<br />

Select this option if you want to disable load sharing HA and<br />

convert the HA cluster to a failover HA cluster (only one<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> processes traffic, with the other <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

acting as a hot backup).<br />

5. Click the Save icon in the toolbar.<br />

6. Wait 60 seconds to allow the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s to synchronize, and then<br />

reboot each <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> that is part <strong>of</strong> the HA cluster. It is important<br />

that the second <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> be rebooted before the primary is<br />

finished rebooting.<br />

Important: If you do not begin the reboot process for the second <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

before the primary finishes rebooting, it will detect that the second <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is<br />

configured for a different cluster mode, and the HA cluster will not function properly.<br />

If this happens, you will need to reboot each <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to synchronize the HA<br />

cluster.<br />

Removing a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> from an HA cluster<br />

To remove a secondary/standby from an HA cluster, follow the steps<br />

below.<br />

1. Connect to the HA cluster and select High Availability in the Admin<br />

Console tree. The Common Parameters window appears.<br />

2. In the Pair Members table, highlight the secondary/standby and then<br />

click Delete.<br />

When the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is removed from the HA cluster, it will<br />

automatically reboot and become a functioning stand-alone<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.
