High availability ensures efficient manageability of critical network resources including data, applications, and services. We support high availability for your OpenText Identity Manager solution through clustering or Hypervisor clustering, such as VMWare Vmotion. When planning a high-availability environment, the following considerations apply:
You can install the following components in a high-availability environment:
Identity Vault
OpenText Identity Manager engine
Remote Loader
Identity applications, except Identity Reporting
To manage the availability of your network resources for your OpenText Identity Manager environment, use the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server(SLES) 12 SP3 or later with the latest patches installed.
When you run the Identity Vault in a clustered environment, the OpenText Identity Manager engine is also clustered.
NOTE:OpenText Identity Manager does not support load balancing LDAP or LDAPS communication between Identity Vault and Identity Applications.
