High Availability

This window displays information concerning the initialization of high availability.

DEFINITION OF HIGH AVAILABILITY

High availability is an option that allows two firewalls (identified through a MasterHA and BackupHA license) to exchange information on their statuses, via a dedicated link in order to ensure service continuity in the event one of the firewalls breaks down. Firewalls in high availability have the same configuration – only their serial numbers, licenses (Master or Backup) and most of all, their status (active or passive) differ.

NOTE

Version 1 of Stormshield Network multifunction firewalls allows you to benefit from high availability support and a new-generation display with the date of the last synchronization.

You will also notice changes to RAID support.

Power supply

If your firewall model supports redundant power supply modules (high-end models SN3000 and SN6000), the power supply statut will be displayed.

S.M.A.R.T. devices

The results of monitoring tests that have been conducted will be displayed for each S.M.A.R.T. peripheral detected.
