To configure when Synchronization occurs:
1.In SmartDashboard, go to Policy > Global Properties > Management High Availability.
2.Select from the options:
*.Automatic Synchronization when policy is installed – If you choose to have the synchronization occur automatically, the Active and Standby Security Management servers automatically synchronize each time the Policy is installed in SmartDashboard or SmartEndpoint.
You can choose to do automatic synchronization more frequently. If you choose one of these options, the synchronization also starts when the Security Policy is installed:
* * .Every time a policy is saved – Synchronizes each time a policy is saved in SmartDashboard or SmartEndpoint.
* * .On scheduled event – Synchronizes based on a schedule that you set, for example, daily at 1:00 AM, or every three hours.
Important – If you set the synchronization to occur at regular time intervals, do not set it to be more frequent than every 1 hour.
*. Manual synchronization only – If you select this, you must start a manual synchronization each time it is necessary to synchronize the Active and Standby Endpoint Security Management Servers.
3. Optional: For Type of notification for Management High Availability tracking, select the way you are notified about changes in the High Availability environment. The default is through Popup Alerts.
4. Click OK.
If automatic synchronization is selected as the synchronization mode, you can also synchronize manually when necessary.
