High availability ensures efficient manageability of critical network resources including data, applications, and services. NetIQ supports high availability for your 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
Identity Manager engine
Remote Loader
Identity applications, except Identity Reporting
To manage the availability of your network resources for your Identity Manager environment, use the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP3 or later with the latest patches installed.
When you run the Identity Vault (eDirectory) in a clustered environment, the Identity Manager engine is also clustered.
