Accessing High Availability Pair CAS Web Consoles

Determining Active and Standby CAS

From the CAM web console, go to Device Management > CCA Servers > List of Servers to view your
HA-CAS pairs. The List of Servers page displays the Service IP of the CAS pair first, followed by the
IP address of the Active CAS in brackets. When a secondary CAS takes over, its IP address will be listed
in the brackets as the Active server.
The CAS configured in HA-Primary Mode may not be the currently Active CAS.
Note

Determining Primary and Secondary CAS

Open the direct access console for each CAS in the pair by typing the following in the URL/Address
field of a web browser (you should have two browsers open):
•
•
In each CAS web console, go to Administration > Network Settings > Failover > General.
•
•
For releases prior to 4.0(0), the Secondary CAS is labelled as HA-Standby Mode (CAS) for the initial
HA configuration.
