5.4.2.2 Adding a Redundancy Group Member
Use the
Add
screen as the means to add a new member (by adding their IP address) to an existing
redundancy group (cluster).
To add a new member to a redundancy group:
1. Select
Services
>
Redundancy
from the main menu tree.
The Redundancy screen displays with the Configuration tab selected.
2. Select the
Member
tab.
3. Select the
Add
button.
4. Enter the IP Address of a new member.
5. Click
OK
to save and add the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
6. Refer to the
Status
field.
The Status is the current state of the requests made from the applet. Requests are any “SET/GET”
operation from the applet. The Status field displays error messages if something goes wrong in the
transaction between the applet and the switch.
7. Click
Cancel
to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.
5.4.3 Redundancy Group License Aggregation Rules
Refer to the following for the rules governing license usage amongst the members of a redundancy group:
• A redundancy group license is determined by adding individual switch installed license values.
• Do not allow different port speed/duplex settings on sa members. All members should be identical.
• In a redundancy group of three switches (S1, S2 and S3), if S1 has X licenses, S2 has Y licenses and S3
has Z licenses, the license count is X+Y+Z (the aggregation of each switch).
• A cluster license is calculated whenever a new switch brings existing licenses to a group or an existing
switch’s license value changes (increases or decreases).
• A simple switch reboot will not initiate a new cluster license calculation, provided the re-booted switch
does not come up with different installed license.
• A change to an installed license during runtime will initiate a cluster license calculation.
• If an existing redundancy group member goes down, it will not initiate a cluster license calculation.
