Testing Failover on the Secondary NVR

The secondary NVR needs to be tested after configuration to ensure it is capable of assuming the

role of any NVR that it is protecting when it goes into Failover mode. Testing can be achieved by

initiating failover.

Procedure 18-7 

Testing the Secondary NVR

Step Action

1 Using the Administration Interface of a primary NVR, reboot the NVR using the Shutdown

page.

As the primary NVR reboots the secondary NVR no longer receives a response when

polling the

primary.

2 In the Adm

inistration Interface of the secondary NVR select Advanced.

3 Select

Failover.

The Failover page opens.

the secondary NVR has successfully assumed the role of the primary NVR the Failover

page will display the statement ‘Currently the NVR is active for server <Primary NVR’s

IP address>’.

5 Click

Terminate Failover on the Failover page of the secondary NVR to resume server

monitoring.

The primary NVR will take over

from the secondary NVR.

• The secondary NVR is suitably license to support the highest licensed primary NVR on its server

nitoring list.

• The cabling between primary and secondary NVRs is connected securely and correctly.
