This section explains the prerequisites and the configurations to be done on the SBC SWe cluster and PSX Manager so that the SBC cluster has the view of the PSX cluster and the PSX has the view of the SBC cluster. To configure SBC SWe clusters as gateways in the PSX SWe Manager, refer to "Configuring SBC Cluster ID as Gateway" in the PSX documentation.  

Prerequisites

  • EMS instance is up and running
  • PSX Master instance is up and running

The PSX instances within a cluster must be visible to the instances within the SBC SWe cluster.  Registering the PSX cluster FQDN in the Remote Policy Server, instead of the IP address, allows the SBC SWe to have a view of the PSX instances within the cluster. When a new instance is created, it will query the PSX using the FQDN.
