A Cluster is a collection of Virtual IPS Sensors that protect a group of instances. The vIPS Clusters tab allows you to configure Clusters and the corresponding protected groups.

In the Manager to access the vIPS Clusters tab, go to Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Global → Device Manager and select vIPS Clusters.

vIPS Clusters tab



The following columns are available in the grid view of the vIPS Clusters tab:

Option

Definition

Cluster Name

Name of the cluster.

Description

Description of the cluster.

Capacity

Displays the total capacity of license required for all member Sensors in the cluster.

Member Sensors

Number of Member Sensors in the selected cluster.

Note

Clicking on this number redirects you to Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Devices → Summary. Here, the summary of the Member Sensors is displayed.

License

Displays the license(s) status of the cluster.

Auto-assignment of license(s) to the device:

If sufficient licenses(s) are available in the pool, the license(s) will be auto-assigned to the device. However, if enough license(s) are unavailable in the pool, the partial license(s) assignment will not be permitted.

  • When a standalone Sensor or a member Sensor is registered successfully, and enough license(s) are available in the pool, the license(s) will be auto-assigned to the standalone Sensor or a member Sensor.

  • When you upgrade the Manager, and enough license(s) are available in the pool, the license(s) will be auto-assigned to the Sensor.

  • When the license(s) assigned to the device expires and sufficient unassigned license(s) are available in the pool, license(s) will be auto-assigned to the device.

Manual assignment of license(s) to the device:

You can assign a license by clicking the GUID-AD58F10B-F37A-45AA-A55D-0DD7A02B2AA1-low.png icon. However, you cannot perform the license assignment if the cluster is empty. In such scenarios, the GUID-AD58F10B-F37A-45AA-A55D-0DD7A02B2AA1-low.png icon will be hidden.

The license(s) status can be one of the following options:

  • GUID-89BC390A-3C39-40F9-BCC2-CF115261968D-low.pngRequired: The reason can be one of the following:

    • The license(s) has not been assigned.

    • The license(s) are assigned, but their capacity is less than the cluster's configured capacity.

    Note

    If a combination of expired and insufficient licenses exists, the insufficient license takes a higher priority.

  • GUID-C395F07B-D0CD-480A-BCC2-FB886010F5DD-low.pngPresent: The sufficient license(s) are present and valid.

  • GUID-7B2E01C8-BD1B-4E8F-8F61-6FC4E27E8413-low.jpgExpired: The license(s) are assigned, but one or more license(s) are expired.

  • GUID-D70B49BB-3DC3-44A9-98BE-B347D2898838-low.pngGrace Period: The assigned license(s) have expired and are now running on a grace period.

    Note

    A grace period of 30 days is provided to subscription-based system licenses after they expire.
