Connect the Servers to Each other Via Cable
Directly connect the servers to each other using an Ethernet or crossover cable.

Follow the steps on “Request a Software License File” on page 382
Configure the Both Servers for Redundancy
You need to configure both servers for redundancy.
To set up redundancy for your environment
1 On the server, go to Admin > Server Settings > Redundant
Configuration.
2 Enter the IP Settings for the redundant system and click Submit.
The primary system will reboot.
3 Verify that you can access the primary server.
4 Repeat these steps on the redundant (second) server.
IP Setting Definition
Virtual IP This virtual IP address of the redundant server.
You only need to configure a value for the Virtual IP
address on the primary server where the primary
license will be installed.
Virtual Host
Name
The hostname that corresponds to the virtual IP
address.
Local Server IP This is the IP address of the local server. It is read
automatically and is readonly.
Peer Server IP The IP address of the second server in your
configuration.
