4.4.11 Cluster configuration
The management server can be configured in a cluster configuration, which consists of a running server (called the primary server) and a standby server. If an error occurs in the primary server, processing is passed to the standby server via a shared disk. The cluster configuration of a server allows processing to continue even if an error occurs in the primary server. The following figure shows a cluster configuration:

The following describes the prerequisites for a cluster configuration.
-
The usable cluster software programs are Windows Failover Cluster Server.
-
On the managed computers, specify the logical network name and logical IP address in the connection-destination management server settings. By doing so, the computers do not need to identify the management server they are connected to.
- Important note
-
A network monitor cannot be configured in a cluster configuration.
