Configuring the Default Channel Port
The VMware Channel uses the Default Channel Port to communicate between the Primary and Secondary
nodes. Do not change this port unless another application is using it.
Procedure
◆
To change the Default Channel Port, click the Channel tab, edit the default entry (57348), and click Next
or Finish.
Configure Low Bandwidth Optimization
Low Bandwidth Optimization is configured automatically during installation based upon configuration options
selected during Setup. Low Bandwidth Optimization can be configured for: High Availability (HA) when deployed
in a Local Area Network (LAN) or Disaster Recovery (DR) when deployed over a Wide Area Network (WAN).
In an HA configuration, queues and buffers are optimized for a high-speed LAN connection, compression is
disabled, and failover between nodes is enabled.
In a DR configuration, queues and buffers are optimized for a low-bandwidth WAN connection, compression
may be used, and failover between nodes is disabled.
In the Configure Server wizard you can choose the HA or DR topology. However, if you have manually configured
a non-standard topology, for example, by changing the failover settings, then Non-Standard will appear in the
menu.You can choose to leave the non-standard topology option as it is, or reset it to one of the standard
topologies.
Important The HA/DR Topology setting must be identical on both nodes in the pair.
