Configure a Redundancy Group With N:1 Redundancy
To enable N:1 redundancy, configure the redundancy settings on the primary controllers (the 
master and one or two slaves) and on the redundant controller (the secondary controller) that 
serves all primary controllers. All controllers require matching licenses. If licenses do not 
match, redundancy cannot be established. For additional requirements, see 
An N:1 redundancy group includes two or three primary controllers that usually operate as a 
stack:
To configure redundancy for a stack of two controllers, you need three controllers: Two 
primary controllers (one master and one slave) and one redundant controller that serves 
both primary controllers.
To configure redundancy for a stack of three controllers, you need four controllers: Three 
primary controllers (one master and two slaves) and one redundant controller that serves 
the three primary controllers.
For information about configuring a stack of controllers, see
