Add High Availability backup
Fill in the fields, then click OK to activate high availability.
Note: Ensure that both Load Balancer machines are running the same version.
Do not add a backup Load Balancer machine that is running a different version of Load Balancer
from the version that is installed on the primary Load Balancer machine.
- Port number
- The number of a port that is unused on both Load Balancer machines that will be used
for heartbeat messages. You must use the same port number for both the primary and
backup machines.
- Role
- Choose between:
- Primary: the primary machine sends connection data continually to the backup machine.
- Backup: the backup machine is in standby state, continually updated and ready to take over if
necessary.
- Recovery strategy
- Choose between:
- Auto--the primary machine resumes load balancing as soon as it comes back into service.
- Manual--the primary machine acts as standby for the backup machine and does not resume routing
packets until the administrator issues a takeover command.
