Cisco Optical Site Manager High Availability
To ensure operational continuity, Cisco Optical Site Manager High Availability (HA) allows you to designate a backup manager for devices. The system supports Active/Standby roles. One application operates actively, managing the devices, while the standby application remains inactive until needed.
This setup allows the standby Cisco Optical Site Manager to take over if the active application fails. The active unit replicates data for both applications and shares information with the standby application as required.
