Multiple Quarantine Managers

For maximum reliability, you can install multiple Quarantine Managers.

Each Quarantine Managers registers with the CMS. The CMS automatically selects one to be the ‘active’ Quarantine Manager. The CMS keeps in regular contact with the registered Quarantine Managers and if the active one fails for any reason, the CMS selects a standby Quarantine Manager to be the ‘active’ one.

If a Quarantine Manager is installed on the CMS, this always defaults to be the ‘active’ one when the CMS starts up.

To allow a different Quarantine Manager to be active on startup

1. Edit the ActiveOnStartup registry value on that Quarantine Manager’s host server.

2. Restart the CMS.
