Configuring High Availability

Check plugin versions

Deploying a High Availability cluster requires the following plugin versions:
•
High Availability Services 0.9.14 or later
To verify you have the correct plugin versions installed, navigate to Administrator >
Plugin Manager > List Available Plugins and check the version number in the list.
Use the Check for Plugin Updates link to download and install updated plugins.

Cluster setup

Before you begin, review this checklist to ensure you are prepared to setup a cluster:
•
You have two servers available;
•
Each server is powered up and connected to the same local area network;
•
Each server has a unique hostname;
•
Each server has a valid subscription ID and has been updated using the Plugin
Manager. Ensure that the High Availability Services plugin has been installed along
with any available plugin updates;
•
You are logged in as the administrator on each server;
•
You have determined the desired network configuration (virtual IP address) for the
cluster.
Click the Create New Cluster command link to begin the process of creating a new
cluster.

Prepare primary node

Use the Cluster Configuration form to enter the basic network and control parameters for
the cluster.
