Product Line: VERDE
When a "normal" failover occurs, the IP naturally redirects to the new Cluster Master (Candidate). This occurs on the Management Console, VERDE-Client and RX-300. If the failover occurs due to a completely dead Cluster Master server, this doesn't happen. The user has to know the IP of the CM Candidate.
Two ways around this. One is Gateway, the other is DNS.
Isolated GATEWAY:
The
advantage using an internal Secure Gateway is that ALL access to the Verde
Cluster would now be done through the static Gateway IP address, not the
Verde Cluster.
The VERDE Admin would need to create an A-Record in his DNS Zone like:
verde.domain.com - And point it to the IP address of
the Gateway.
Then if the
Cluster Master were to fail or not be reachable, the Cluster Candidate would
take on the role of Cluster Master and the Users would continue to point to the
same Gateway IP address (using Verde Client or RX-300 Thin-clients), since the
Gateway would know the current IP address of the Verde Cluster.
DNS:
The VERDE Admin could do
is a manual process, to create an internal DNS name of the Verde Cluster, when
you configure the RX-300 Thin-clients that points to the IP address of the
Verde Cluster. Then, if the main Cluster node goes down, you could login to
your DNS Table and update the IP address of the DNS entry to point to the new
IP address of the Verde server. This usually only takes a few minutes
to propagate the new IP to the endpoints and you wouldn’t have to change
anything on the endpoints.
