High Availability ConfigurationsΒΆ

A second Plixer Replicator can be set up to create a fault tolerant system in scenarios where the primary appliance needs to be taken offline or becomes unavailable for any reason. This functionality is available for both hardware and virtual appliances (or a combination of the two).

There are two methods for configuring the secondary or backup Plixer Replicator for fault tolerance:

Single Network High Availability configuration:

Multi-Network High Availability configuration:

Important

To set up either type of HA configuration, a failover license must first be obtained and applied to the Plixer Replicator appliance intended for use as the secondary/backup. Contact Plixer Technical Support to learn more.
