High Availability

The HA for Server Load Balancing (SLB) is Hot-Standby HA. This mode requires a setup of two
Brocade Virtual ADXs, where one device is always active and the other device is always in the
standby mode. For more information on high availability, refer to the Brocade Virtual ADX Server
Load Balancing Guide.
Configuring the Brocade Virtual ADX in Hot-Standby HA
Hot-Standby HA allows you to configure two Brocade Virtual ADXs to serve as a redundant pair. One
device is always active while the other device is always standby. If the active device fails, the idle
standby device assumes the active functions and becomes the new active device.
Hot-Standby HA is the only HA service counting the number of available router and server ports for
failover behavior. the Brocade Virtual ADX with the highest number of active ports is declared as
the active device. A failover is triggered when device stops responding or during a system reload, in
addition to the port-count loss.
NOTE
Hot-Standby HA is supported only in switch code.
To configure Hot-Standby HA on the Brocade Virtual ADX that runs switch code, perform the
following steps within the Configure Tab.
1. Click System on the menu bar.
