Similarly, in case a switchover happens at the Central Manager level, the Secondary active Central Manager can communicate with the Manager.

The MDR page enables you to have a standby Central Manager available in case the primary Central Manager fails.

The Central Manager Disaster Recovery (MDR) feature is available for deployments where the following conditions are met:

  • Two Central Managers (called Primary and Secondary) are available. The Primary is in active mode and the Secondary in standby mode.

  • The Primary and Secondary use the same Central Manager software release version. MDR is supported on Central Managers with version numbers that match in the first three places.

  • The Primary and Secondary have a similar database structure.
