Creating high availability (HA) clusters

A high availability (HA) cluster is a group of exactly two encryption engines. One encryption engine
can take over encryption and decryption tasks for the other encryption engine, if that member fails
or becomes unreachable.
When creating a new HA Cluster, add one engine to create the cluster and then add the second
engine. You can make multiple changes to the HA Clusters list; the changes are not applied to the
switch until you click OK.
Both engines in an HA cluster must be in the same fabric as well as the same encryption group.
NOTE
An IP address is required for the management port for any cluster-related operations.
