Failover
3. Configure failover peers on the EQ/OS 8.6 system.
a. Click Mode: Standalone at the top of the left frame to open the Failover > Required tab.
b. Uncheck (turn off) the Disable Failover check box.
c. In the This Equalizer section, check (turn on) the Preferred Primary check box.
d. In the Peer Equalizer section, do the following:
l Enter any name you like for Equalizer Name and any string of characters for
Signature.
l Enter VLAN IP addresses for each VLAN -- these are the IP addresses that
you will assign later on the Equalizer running EQ/OS 10.
Note - The Failover Parameters section should display the Failover IP addresses you configured on the VLAN Configuration tab
earlier.]
e. Click commit.
f. Open the Failover > Synchronization tab and do the following:
l Check (turn on) the dont transfer check box.
l Uncheck (turn off) the Use SSL only check box.
l Click commit.
g. Click Help > About and expand the system information box; the failover mode should now
be primary (you may need to manually refresh the browser to see the change of state
immediately).
If the failover mode remains in the initializing state, make sure that at least one server is
active (that is, marked "up" in the GUI). Failover in Version 8.6 will not properly initialize if
Equalizer cannot successfully probe at least one server on the network.
4. Configure the EQ/OS 10 system as the preferred backup:
a. Configure all required VLANS, servers, and server pools as described in "Network
Configuration" on page 77, "Configuring Server Connections" on page 359, and "Server Pools
and Server Instances" on page 229, using settings that are equivalent to the settings used on
the EQ/OS 8.6 system. Note the following:
l
Do not configure any clusters at this time.
We’ll configure clusters
after
we
configure the system into failover, so that we don’t have both systems trying to
assign the same cluster IP addresses.
