Converting an Existing Quantum Spark Appliance to a Cluster
Do these procedures to convert an existing Quantum Spark Appliance to a cluster.
The procedures require some downtime.
Terms used:
n
GW - The existing Quantum Spark Appliance gateway object that has already
established trust and has an installed policy.
n
Cluster - The new Quantum Spark Appliance cluster object that you create.
n
GW_2 - The new cluster member object that joins the existing gateway.
To configure the new appliance GW_2 with the First Time Configuration Wizard:
1. Make sure to configure the actual IP addresses and not the virtual IP addresses that are
used by the existing gateway GW.
2. Clear the Enable switch on LAN ports checkbox.
If you do not do this, the default switch configuration is automatically removed during the
cluster's first policy installation, as it is not supported in a cluster configuration.
Note - It is more secure to remove the switch configuration before initial policy
installation.
3. Configure the LAN2 port (used for cluster synchronization) with an IP address that is in
the same network as the other cluster member.
It is recommended to assign a static IP address for the sync interface.
4. Do not fetch the policy from the Security Management Server.
