Migrate NetScaler Console single-server deployment to a high availability deployment

You can upgrade your NetScaler Console single server to a high availability deployment of two NetScaler Console servers. A high availability pair of NetScaler Console servers is in active-passive mode, and both the servers have the same configuration. In this type of active-passive deployment, one NetScaler Console server is configured as the primary node and the other as the secondary node. If for any reason, the primary node goes down, the secondary node takes over. For more information, see Configure high availability deployment.

To migrate a NetScaler Console single server to a high availability pair, you must:

  1. Log on to the single NetScaler Console server.

  2. Navigate to Settings > Administration and click Configure NetScaler Console High Availability (HA) under High Availability Settings.

  3. In the Configure NetScaler Console High Availability (HA) page:

    1. Provide a secondary NetScaler Console server IP address.

    2. Specify the secondary node password.

    3. Specify the floating IP address.

    4. Click Configure.

  4. In the confirmation window, click Yes. NetScaler Console instances reboot to form a HA pair.

  5. After the HA pair configuration is complete, login to the primary NetScaler Console and navigate to Settings > HA Deployment to validate the primary and secondary nodes.
