Monitoring redundancy

On the upper right corner of the screen, the icon

appears once the redundancy pool has been configured.

The icon may take different colors to indicate degraded state or failure:

Degraded state	Failure
One server is unreachable. Manager operations are still possible.	2 servers are unreachable. Manager operations are no longer possible.

Moving the mouse over the icon displays the status of servers:

	Displayed Status	Meaning
Master Manager	Primary	Nominal status
	Online	Status indicating that communication is impossible with both Backup Manager and Redundancy Arbiter. Manager operations are not possible.
	Unreachable	Connection problem or Manager not operational
Backup Manager	Online	Nominal status
	Primary	Acts as a Master Manager since the initial Master Manager is unreachable and as long as it’s unreachable (case “active / passive” has been set) or continue to act as Master Manager (case active / passive” has been clear) when initial Master has recovered.
	Unreachable	Connection problem or Manager not operational
Redundancy Arbiter	Online	Nominal status
Redundancy Arbiter	Unreachable	Connection problem or Arbiter not operational

The following diagrams illustrate possible cases:

Backup Manager has Primary status as long as Master Manager is not operational

Note

The Backup Manager has read-write access to the database, and a full user interface.
Field Units are disconnected from Master server.
When the Autoconnect mode is enabled on field units, field units reconnect to the Backup Manager automatically. If not, field units must be reconnected manually.

Failure on both Backup Manager and Redundancy Arbiter
