Redundant RSMs

The CygNet Host Manager utility identifies and displays redundant RSMs that might be running on multiple domains. The Domain column displays the following information for each RSM listed in the RSM configurations list:

• [redundant] — If the RSM has the REDUNDANT service configuration keyword set to TRUE, the CygNet Host Manager will list the domain as [redundant] (regardless of other settings) until the service starts.
• Domain ID, Domain ID — Once a redundant RSM starts up on a different domain, the CygNet Host Manager will determine the domains on which it is running and replace the [redundant] domain entry with a comma-separated list of domains returned by the RSM.

If an RSM changes the domain on which it is running, the CygNet Host Manager will detect that information and automatically update the list of domains for the RSM. If the CygNet Host Manager is started when a redundant RSM is already running, it will immediately retrieve the list of domains from the RSM and display them in the list of RSM configurations.

See Redundancy for more information.

The Host Activation page shows the host activation code, host activation configurations, and the domain, key, and status for this host.
