Reapplying policy assignments after failure
In a cluster, the master node stores the definitions of protection policies that
you apply to slave nodes. If the master node fails or is demoted, the link is
broken between applied policies and their definitions. Slave nodes sometimes
then appear to have viable policies applied that in reality are disabled. Prevent
losing policies through failure by backing up the master node. Prevent losing
policies when demoting by reapplying policy definitions to the new master node.
