HA Clusters tab

The HA Clusters tab allows you to create and delete HA clusters, add encryption engines to and
remove encryption engines from HA clusters, and failback an engine. Changes are not applied to
the encryption group until you click OK.

Each HA cluster must have exactly two encryption engines. The two encryption engines in the
cluster must be in the same fabric (they will always be in the same encryption group since only the
engines in the group are listed for selection).

HA clusters are groups of encryption engines that provide high availability features. If one of the
engines in the group fails or becomes unreachable, the other cluster member takes over the
encryption and decryption tasks of the failed encryption engine. An HA cluster consists of exactly
two encryption engines. See

“Creating HA clusters”

on page 51.

The HA Clusters tab is viewed from the Encryption Group Properties dialog box. (Refer to
(

Figure 78

.) To access the HA Clusters tab, select a group from the Encryption Center Devices table,

then select Group > HA Clusters from the menu task bar. The Properties dialog box displays with
the HA Clusters tab selected.

NOTE

You can also select a group from the Encryption Center Devices table, then click the Properties icon.
