One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 7.4 - Appliance Setup Guide

Cluster Management grid

• Health indicators: Health indicators display in the first column in the Cluster Management grid. Cluster members periodically query other appliances in the cluster to obtain their health information. Cluster member information and health information is cached in memory, with the most recent results displayed.
  

  The health indicators on the nodes indicate if cluster members are in any of these states:

  error: Indicates a definite problem impacting the functionality of the cluster

  warning: Indicates a potential issue with the cluster

  locked: Indicates the cluster is locked

  (green) healthy state.

  Expand the View More section to see more details.

• Name: The name of the appliance.
• Network Address: The IPv4 address (or IPv6 address) of the appliance configuration interface. You can modify the appliance IP address. For more information, see How do I modify the appliance configuration settings.
• Primary: Displays Yes if the appliance is the primary.
• Appliance State: Indicates the appliance state. For a list of available states, see Appliance states.

When you select an appliance, the details for the appliance display on the right. The grid information displays: name, network address, primary, and state. This additional information is available:

• Disk Space: The amount of used and free disk space.
• Version: The appliance version number.
• Last Health Check: Last date and time the selected appliance's information was obtained.
• Uptime: The amount of time (days, hours, and minutes) the appliance has been running.
• If the replica is selected, this additional information displays for the Primary:
  • Network Address: The network DNS name or the IP address of the primary appliance in the cluster

  • MAC Address: The media access control address (MAC address), a unique identifier assigned to the network interface for communications

  • Link Present: Displays either Yes or No to indicate if there is an open communication link

  • Link Latency: The amount of time (in milliseconds) it takes for the primary to communicate with the replica. Network latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. Ideally, latency is as close to zero as possible.

• Errors and warnings are reported:

  • Errors: Errors are reported. For example, if an appliance is disconnected from the primary (no quorum), an error message may be: Request Workflow: Cluster configuration database health could not be determined.

  • Warnings: Warnings are reported. For example, if an appliance is disconnected from the primary (no quorum), a warning message may be: Policy Data: There is a problem replicating policy data. Details: Policy database slave IO is not running. The Safeguard primary may be inaccessible from this appliance.

Toolbar actions

• Add Replica: Join an appliance to the primary appliance as a replica. For more information, see Enrolling replicas into a cluster.
• Appliance details and cluster health pane toolbar buttons follow.
  • Unjoin: Click Unjoin to remove a replica from the cluster. For more information, see Unjoining replicas from a cluster.
  • Failover: Click Failover to promote a replica to the primary appliance. For more information, see Failing over to a replica by promoting it to be the new primary.

  • Activate: Click Activate to activate a read-only appliance so it can add, modify and delete data. For more information, see Activating a read-only appliance.

    CAUTION: Activating an appliance that is in Read-Only mode will take it out of the Read-only state and enable password and SSH key check and change for managed accounts. Ensure that no other SPP Appliance is actively monitoring these accounts, otherwise access to managed accounts could be lost.

  • Diagnose: Click Diagnose to open the Diagnostics pane where you can perform the following:
    • View appliance diagnostics. For more information, see Appliance Diagnostics.
    • View appliance information. For more information, see Appliance Information.
    • Run diagnostic tests against the appliance. For more information, see Network Diagnostics.
    • View or edit networking settings. For more information, see Networking.
    • Perform a factory reset. For more information, see Factory Reset .
    • Check OS licensing (virtual machine only). For more information, see Operating System Licensing.
    • Update patches. For more information, see Patch Updates.
    • Power down and restart the appliance. For more information, see Power.
    • Generate a support bundle. For more information, see Support bundle.
    • View or edit time settings. For more information, see Time.
  • Check Health: Click Check Health to capture and display the current state of the selected appliance.
  • Restart: Click Restart to restart the selected appliance. Confirm your intentions by entering a Reason and clicking Restart.
• Reset Cluster: Reset a cluster to recover a cluster that has lost consensus. For more information, see Resetting a cluster that has lost consensus.

  Caution: Resetting a cluster should be your last resort. It is recommended that you restore from a backup rather than reset a cluster.

• Refresh: Update the list of appliances in a cluster.
• Enable Offline Workflow: This button is available if the appliance has lost consensus, you are logged into the selected appliance, and you have not already put the appliance in Offline Workflow Mode. The state of the appliance will be Isolated or Lost Quorum.
  Click Enable Offline Workflow to manually place the selected appliance in Offline Workflow Mode. The appliance will run in isolation from the rest of the cluster. For more information, see Manually control Offline Workflow Mode.
• Resume Online Operations: This button is available if the appliance has lost consensus, you are logged into the selected appliance, and the appliance is in Offline Workflow Mode. The state of the appliance will be Isolated or Lost Quorum.
  Click Resume Online Operations to manually reintegrate the appliance with the cluster and merge audit logs. For more information, see To manually resume online operations.
