Clustering

[Burakhan]

Hi,

I ve 2 PSA5000. First active PSA has 600 client license and the other has 0 client license.

I want to run these 2 devices in cluster mode. 1 device active and 1 device backup. 

If active is down, backup will be active.

My question is "Should i buy a license for second device?".

If not, in disaster scenario 2nd device will run normally. 

Thanks a lot for your helps.

@Burakhan It is not recommended to have 0 or mismatch license count on the cluster nodes. Please consider installing the same amount of licenses on both cluster members to avoid unexpected outages.

Having 0 on the passive node, will return 0 licenses in case of your active device failure.

Please refer to https://kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse_Secure_Article/KB40093/?kA1j0000000Jri9

This KB article would explain the importance of having equal license count.
