3. Restart your device after two controllers are both configured.
4. Optionally, click Test heartbeat to test the communication between two controllars.
7.2 Modify Resource IP
Purpose:
Resource IP address is used for the storage of other devices. It combines the usage of two controllers, if one
controller fails, the applications of the failed controller would be transferred to the other controller, so the
application would not be affected.
In Cluster > Cluster, click Modify Resource IP to set resource IP parameters.
