Synchronizing configuration files in a high availability setup

In a high availability setup, all configuration files are synchronized automatically from the primary node to the secondary node at an interval of one minute. Synchronizing configuration files can be performed manually by using the command line interface or the GUI at either the primary or the secondary node.

Files located on the secondary that are specific to the secondary (not present on the primary) are not deleted during the synchronization.

To synchronize files in a high availability setup by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

sync HA files <mode>

Example

> sync HA files all
 Done
<!--NeedCopy-->
> sync HA files ssl
 Done
<!--NeedCopy-->
