About cluster license???

[tear-hero_]

HI ,eveyone

Now,my ive platform is sa 4000,and cluster mode is a/p. the license of backup node is cluster license.can you tell me that if my activy node is off-line,and the same the backup node must restart,then the backup node also can work correctly?

Hi,

In the event that you completely loose your primary node and you need to reboot your secondary node, your remaining device(s) will continue as normal. Even when the primary is down the secondary still retains the license details of all other members of the cluster; as long as one device retains these details then remaining devices will function as normal.

Obviously you'd RMA your dead 4000 ASAP and get customer care to resassign your licenses to the new tin. There is a full procedure for this in the admin guide I believe.

Hope that helps

Thank you for your reply.your answer means that even my primary sa 4000 is dead,my cluster sa 4000 reboot,the cluster sa 4000 remain can work normally?

Yup, it'll be fine! You can run like this with a dead primary for 90 days from memory; more than ample time to get it RMA'd..
