Online Automatic Sync
In R80.10 and higher, the Endpoint Security database uses online synchronization. Online
synchronization synchronizes the Endpoint Security Management Servers each time the
database is modified.
Online synchronization is supported on Gaia servers only.
To check the status of the first synchronization:
Run this command on each server:
PgOnlineSyncUtil is_initial_load_over
When the synchronization finishes, the command output is
Initial load is over.
Before Failover
Whenever possible, change the Active Endpoint Security Management Server to Standby
before you change the Standby Endpoint Security Management Server to Active, and check
online synchronization status on the Secondary server and all Remote Help servers.
