Addition of Appliances to a Management Station Cluster

You can add appliances to a Management Station cluster at any time.

Use the Configuration tab procedure in Creating a Management Station Cluster.

Warning: When adding an appliance to a Management Station cluster, the appliances use two-way SSL to verify each other’s certificates. If a time gap exists between the appliances, such as different time zones, the earlier appliance could interpret the later appliance’s certificate as being in the future and not accept its certificate as valid.

To avoid this issue, either ensure both appliances have similar time settings or wait until both appliance certificate’s creation times are in the past according to both time zones.
