In the case of multisite deployments when the Cisco KMC is separated from Fabric Manager, fabric
discovery is not required on the Cisco KMC installation. The clusters that have connection to the Cisco
KMC will be online and the clusters that are not connected, but are not deactivated, appear as offline.
The Cisco SME clusters that are deleted from the fabric appear as deactivated.
The high availability Cisco KMC server consists of a primary server and a secondary server. When the
primary server is unavailable, the cluster connects to the secondary server and fails over to the primary
server once the primary server is available. The high availability KMC will be available after you
configure the high availability settings in the Fabric Manager Web Client. For more information on the
configuration, see the
