Automatically creates configuration files for DNS, DHCP servers

• Administrators do not need to be aware of the syntax of these

configuration files.

DNS data is verified during a DNS push before the push completes

Configuration files can be automatically sent to remote servers

Appliance Hardware Roadmap

• QIP 700 Low end AMM or AMS appliance 1U rack

mount, one 250GB disk drive, Dual Core Intel Pentium

processor, single Power supply, lights out card

• QIP 1200-RAID Same characteristics as 1200 with

additional raid 5 and more disk installed

• QIP 6000 Large Enterprise appliance 16GB Memory

,Dual quad core Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz CPU’s, 5 TB raid 5

disk, dual power supply, 4 GigE lights out card.

34


Package Deployment SchedulingPackage Deployment Scheduling - enables the user to schedule

the package deployment either directly on the appliance or

through appliance group from the AMS GUI. This helps the AMS

GUI administrator to plan in advance and schedule the

package deployment during off peak hours.

35


SNMP on the AMS

Redhat™ SNMP server will be started on the AMS and all the

advantages of SNMP monitoring and statistics can be utilized

on the AMS.

36


VitalQIP DB Import/Export VIA AMSAuthorized users to perform VitalQIP database

export/import operations from the web interface. Multiple

exports can be stored on the AMS based on disk

availability.

37


Multiple Syslog ServersThis enables AMS GUI users to define up to a maximum of 10

remote logging servers for each individual appliance to send

syslog data to from AM 1.7 onwards.

& Zone Transfer

Notes:

• Major advantages of DNS-HA:

Improved uptime, single Virtual IP

(VIP) address for clients, etc.

• Only 1 server in DNS-HA Pair is

active at any given time

• VIP points to active server

• Heartbeat used to monitor status of

active server and DNS service

• Automatic failover to Standby

server occurs in event of failure

• Stealth Master configuration is best

practice (not mandatory) for

updating DNS zones

• Stealth Master could also be

resident on ESM appliance

• VIP must be on same subnet

• as Active/Standby servers

• Standby server is hot/active

• AMM1200 appliances are shown, but

DNS-HA also runs on AMM500 and

AMM5000 appliances (both

appliances in pair should be of

same model)

• DNS-HA feature is only available on

VitalQIP appliances

• Crossover cable required for

VitalQIP DHCP High Availability (DHCP-HA)

DHCP-HA N:1 Failover

Failover DHCP

Server

Notes:

• Major advantages of DHCP-HA:

Increased DHCP uptime, no “split”

scopes, minimal hardware

requirements, etc.

• DHCP-HA available on appliances

(AMM500, AMM1200, AMM5000) as

well as non-appliance servers

• Recommended maximum is 5:1 (5

Primary servers can be supported by

a single Failover DHCP server)

• Failover server is “hot” and tracks

DHCP “DORA” messages and leases

• If heartbeat determines that Primary

server/service is down, Failover

takes over (client does not notice

the change)

• When Primary service is

restored, Primary and Failover

servers sync active lease databases

and Primary takes over

• Router “Helpers” point to both

Primary and Failover server

• Primary and Failover servers do not

need to be on the same Subnet

• No crossover cable needed for
