If you want the OnGuard plugin role to support failover, you must add backup servers in the configuration of the plugin role.

Before you begin

Expansion servers must be available in your system to use as backup servers.

What you should know

The OnGuard plugin role can support failover of the following components:
  • Server on which the OnGuard role is running.
  • Server of the Security Center Directory.
To add backup servers to the Directory , see Adding expansion servers. You can access this information by pressing F1 in Config Tool.

Procedure

  1. In the Plugins task, select the OnGuard plugin from the entity browser, and click the Resources tab.
  2. In Servers, click Add an item (), and select a server.
  3. Click Add > Apply.

Results

If the server of the OnGuard plugin role fails, Security Center will automatically switch the role to a backup server.
