Re: [FW-1] redundant management server



AFAIK If you lose your mgt server your enforcement points won't care
except that you will be unable to push a new policy out to them, and you
will not be logging at all (unless you also have a distributed logging
model)  This may or may not be an issue in your environment. You know
best what your tolerance of downtime is. If your mgt server is on
Windows, you can image it periodically (disk copy) and keep the SID the
same & that way as long as you can the same hardware together, you can
send the image down to new/or repaired hardware. I like imaging since
you can be back up in under 30 minutes, usually a lot less than that.
For true business continuity though you should have a secondary
management server. Should you lose the primary, the secondary will pick
up right where the primary left off. If possible, have it on a different
subnet and at a different physical location.
I do know it's an extra license, I do not know what it runs. ($)  It is
something we are just beginning to examine ourselves.

Hello,

Is there a lot of  merit to operate a management server(NG
FP3) by a redundancy ?
When there is just one managment server,
are there  critical problems if a management server should
be down ?
My client is thinking of whether or not they should change
their current management server into
redundancy.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
