High-Availability (N8900, N12000 series/N16000 series only)

HA keeps your data active on two separate systems, Thecus Supports
Active/Passive HA — provides a fully redundant instance of each node, which is only
brought online when its associated primary node fails.
HA setup procedure:
HA needs two identical Thecus systems (same models and same hard disk slot
installed) which are capable for high availability features. One needs to be setup as
"Primary" and the second unit as "Secondary", both units' needs to have the RAID
volume build up prior installation.
WARNING
Let's see an example with two Thecus Units.
