Master Node (High Availability)
If you wish to configure the BluStar 8000i as the Master Node for a High-Availability configuration, the settings are speci-
fied on a menu similar to the one used for Single Node network configuration.
Note:
If you choose this option, you must subsequently configure a second BluStar 8000i as the Slave Node for this Master
Node.
1. Select Master Node (High Availability) and press Enter to continue.
The first ten menu items are identical to those found on the Single Node configuration menu - and are configured in
the same way. Also, there are several additional settings that are required. These are the items beginning with “HA” as

way.
