High availability clusters

A high availability (HA) cluster consists of exactly two encryption engines configured to host the
same CryptoTargets and to provide Active/Standby failover and failback capabilities in a single
fabric. Failback occurs automatically by default, but is configurable with a manual failback option.
All encryption engines in an encryption group share the same DEK for a disk or tape LUN.

HA cluster configuration rules

The following rules apply when configuring an HA cluster:

The encryption engines that are part of an HA cluster must belong to the same encryption
group and be part of the same fabric.

An HA cluster cannot span fabrics and it cannot provide failover/failback capability within a
fabric transparent to host MPIO software.

HA cluster configuration and related operations must be performed on the group leader.
