 =About=
 <div class="section">
 The easiest way to achieve a highly available VALT server is by utilizing a VM on a Hypervisor with shared storage that supports High Availability (HA). Both VMWare and Hyper-V have integrated HA capabilities. If there is a need to make the VALT server highly available, IVS strongly recommends deploying the VALT appliance in a virtual environment and leveraging the hypervisor's HA capabilities. If this is not an option, the procedure below will allow you to configure two VALT appliances with one as a primary server and the second as a warm standby. This procedure will configure the MYSQL databases in a master slave configuration and replicate all changes from the primary to the standby server. Video files can be synchronized periodically. The configuration given below will replicate video files on a daily basis, but this can be customized by adjusting the cronjob scheduling.
