HALO (High Availability and Load Optimization)<br />

Cluster Activity<br />

When a cluster is activated, a new Cluster Activity option appears on the Activity menu, and<br />

provides an activity screen displaying the combined activity of all cluster members. To see the<br />

activity for just the current system, use the Activity option from the menu.<br />

Cluster Reporting<br />

<strong>ePrism</strong> reports can be generated for a single system or for all systems in a cluster. The email<br />

database can also be searched on a single system or on the entire cluster. The history and status of<br />

any message can be instantly retrieved regardless of which system processed the message.<br />

See “Viewing and Generating Reports” on page 222 for more information on cluster reporting.<br />

Configuring a New Cluster Console<br />

If you need to assign the Cluster Console role to another system in the cluster, you must login to<br />

the cluster member you would like to use as the Cluster Console and reconfigure the cluster from<br />

the HALO -> Cluster Administration menu. This will essentially deactivate the entire cluster,<br />

and you must add the cluster members again to the cluster once the new Cluster Console is<br />

initialized.<br />

Backup and Restore<br />

You should configure the backup for a cluster member with a unique backup directory for each<br />

cluster system, including the Cluster Console. Separate backup directories are required to ensure<br />

that backups do not inadvertently overwrite the backup from another cluster system.<br />

Restoring from a backup is primarily intended for product recovery after a re-installation or<br />

software upgrade. Restoring clustered systems can potentially cause problems with cluster<br />

configuration and communication, and it is recommended that you use the following procedures<br />

when restoring a member of a cluster system.<br />

See “Backup and Restore” on page 189 for more detailed information on the backup and restore<br />

process.<br />

Restoring a Cluster Member<br />

Use the following procedure to perform a restore on a cluster member system (not the Cluster<br />

Console):<br />

1. From the Cluster Console, remove the member system from the cluster.<br />

2. Disconnect the member system from the cluster network via the network cable.<br />

3. Perform the restore procedure, but only restore Quarantined mail, SSL Certificates, STA,<br />

and Reporting Data (optional). The member will automatically synchronize the rest of its<br />

configuration with the Cluster Console when it is reintegrated with the cluster.<br />
