15.4 Replication
You can add a secondary KVM.net II Manager unit to the system. The primary
unit then replicates all data to the secondary unit. In the event of a failure in the
primary unit, the secondary unit can take over, and operate with the most up to
date database.
15.4.1 Connecting the secondary unit to the network
1. Connect the secondary unit to a power supply outlet.
2. Connect the secondary unit to the network as follows: On the rear panel
connect an Ethernet cable to LAN 1
3. Power up the secondary unit.
15.4.2 Configuring the secondary unit
Configure the secondary unit before configuring the primary unit. Configuration
involves changing the secondary unit IP address, (so as not to cause a network
conflict by having the same IP address as the primary unit) and assigning the unit
to be the secondary unit.
1. From the secondary unit login to the KVM.net II Manager web interface. See
section 5 on page 18 to display the KVM.net II Web interface.
2. Change the IP address of the secondary unit to be different to the primary unit,
but ensure that it resides on the same network segment. You change the
secondary unit IP address from the Network tab under Settings/Unit
Maintenance. See section 16.2 on page 114. Once changed, the unit restarts.
3. Login again with the new network settings.
4. From the Settings/Maintenance menu, click Replication, Figure 97 appears.
