The Address Manager Failover Monitoring feature lets Gateway monitor an Address Manager server replication cluster system, making sure that Gateway authenticates with the new primary Address Manager server in the cluster on a failover event. This makes sure that Gateway user sessions with the previous Primary server are maintained. This feature allows for management of Address Manager server failover events. However, other changes to the replication cluster (such as the change, addition, removal of one of its Address Manager servers) require additional steps.

If the Address Manager cluster changes outside of a failover:

Reconfigure the replication cluster from the Primary Address Manager server:

  1. Make sure that you are logged into the cluster either with primary-address-manager or any Address Manager server within the current cluster.

  2. Stop the failover monitoring. (From the Failover Monitoring page, click Stop monitoring.)

  3. Log out of Gateway.

  4. Complete changes to the Address Manager replication cluster.

  5. Log into an Address Manager server that is part of the new replication system.

  6. On the Failover Monitoring page, configure Gateway to start monitoring the new replication. Make sure you re-run cluster discovery so that Gateway gets information on all members of the cluster.

Note: Gateway can monitor and authenticate with only one Address Manager cluster at a time.
