VMA SAN Gateway Management Overview
You can group together redundant HP VMA SAN Gateway pairs and connected HP
VMA-series Array nodes into a management group to create a virtual system that
can be managed and monitored as a single unit. A SAN Gateway management
group consists of one or two HP VMA SAN Gateway nodes, designated as follows:
• Master node: The first node added to a cluster becomes the active master
node. For more information, see Configuring a HP VMA SAN Gateway
Master/Standalone Node on page 23.
Note: A standalone SAN Gateway is a single node cluster, configured as a
master node.
• Secondary node: The second node in a cluster becomes the secondary node.
Should the master node fail, the secondary node automatically becomes the
master node through which management traffic is redirected. For more
information, see Configuring a Secondary HP VMA SAN Gateway Node on
page 27.
