Failover relationships will initially appear as Empty and must be activated by adding a scope to the relationship from the IPAM page. You can either create a new scope or select an existing one. If the failover relationship was previously empty, it will be created on the Microsoft DHCP server.
Microsoft DHCP scopes participating in failover relationships are grouped and labeled as such in the Authority column on the IPAM page. The Failover relationship column displays the name of the failover relationship to which the scope belongs.
Adding scopes to failover relationships
There are two ways to add scopes to a failover relationship in the DDI orchestrator application.
To add scopes to the relationship:
- On the IPAM page, locate and select the scope in the list.
- Use either the Action menu or the ellipses in the row to select Add scope to failover.
- In the dropdown, select a failover relationship to add the scope to.
- Select Confirm.
-OR-
- Create a new scope and select the failover
relationship during creation.
If the failover relationship was empty before the scope was added to it, the status will change from Empty to Normal.
Removing scopes from failover relationships
There are two ways to remove scopes from failover relationships in the DDI orchestrator application.
To remove a scope from a failover relationship:
- Locate the specific scope on the IPAM page.
- Use either the Action menu or the ellipses in the
row to select Remove from failover.
After the scope is removed from the failover relationship, decide whether to delete or disable the secondary scope.
-OR-
- Locate the specific scope in the list on the IPAM page.
- Use either the Action menu or the ellipses in the row to select Manage scope instances.
- In the dialog, use the ellipses in the row for the relevant server
to select Remove scope instance.
- Select Save.
