High availability cluster

In a high availability cluster, one appliance acts as the active primary appliance, and one acts as the passive primary appliance. The passive primary appliance automatically takes over as the new active primary appliance if the active primary appliance encounters an error and is unable to recover.

Load-balancing cluster

In a load-balancing cluster, one appliance acts as the active primary appliance, and any additional appliances act as secondary appliances. The secondary appliances process submissions allocated by the active primary appliance for performance improvement.

Management console

Management port

A hardware port that connects to the management network.

Passive primary appliance
