MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

Replacing the team manager
If the primary team manager has failed and will not be returning, you can promote the interim
manager (or any other team member) to primary so that configuration options will be available.
IMPORTANT: Once you promote the interim manager to primary manager, you cannot return
the old team manager to the team without changing its configuration so that it becomes a team
member. Only one manager is supported per team.
1. Under Controllers, select the team manager (which is now the interim manager).
2. In the right pane, select Management > Teaming.
3. Enable the Team manager option. The settings for this option should already be defined with
the values that were set on the primary team manager.
4. Select Save.
Mobility support
Mobility support when controller teaming is active is very similar to mobility support on non-teamed
controllers. This section discusses the differences and configuration issues involved. For an
explanation of mobility concepts used in this section, see “Mobility traffic manager” (page 285).
The key benefit of using a team to provide a mobility solution is support for failover if the primary
mobility controller becomes inoperative. The following diagram shows two identical setups, except
that one is a team and the other is independent controllers.
