Connecting to High Availability Cluster

Once you assemble an HA cluster, you can connect to it using the Veeam Backup & Replication console.

After the Veeam Backup & Replication establishes a connection with an HA cluster, it creates a local cache of the HA cluster nodes. The Veeam Backup & Replication console uses this cache to connect to the HA cluster and obtain the status of both nodes. This information is essential for performing switchover or failover operations, and it helps prevent a failover to the secondary node while the primary node is still running.

To connect to an HA cluster, do the following:

1. Close the current session with the Veeam Backup & Replication console on the primary node.
2. Use the HA cluster IP address or the HA cluster DNS name to connect to an HA cluster using the Veeam Backup & Replication console.
