Specifications

Now, if the primary site fails you must make all the agents previously communicating with the primary

McAfee ePO server start communicating with the secondary McAfee ePO server located at another

physical site that has a different IP address and different DNS name. Remember, the agents find the

McAfee ePO server by communicating to its IP address first and if that fails they use its DNS name. If

the agents see that the primary site's IP address is not available they will query DNS where you will

have changed the IP address for the primary McAfee ePO server to point to the IP address of the

secondary McAfee ePO server. All agents then instantly start pointing to the secondary McAfee ePO

server.

The full restore procedures are described in the KnowledgeBase article KB66616.
