Primary and worker roles
On the primary node, all functionality is available based on your licenses and contracts. This includes accepting files from different input sources, sending alert emails, and generating malware packages. Scan profiles should also be configured on the primary node and will be synchronized to other nodes.
The following table below lists the features and its synchronization settings.
- Failover – the related settings are synchronized from primary to secondary on a regular basis and applied during a failover event.
- Realtime – the related settings are synchronized as soon as changes are applied.
- Realtime* – the related settings are synchronized in realtime only if configured.

Although you can assign different VM types to each node in a cluster, we recommend all nodes share the same VM types. VM types are collected from all nodes and are displayed in the primary node’s Scan Profile > VM Association page where VM associations can be configured and synchronized for the entire cluster. If an association for a VM type is missing on the worker node, the sandbox scan cannot be completed. For example, if you associate WIN10X64VM to scan all executable files when configuring the Scan Profile on the primary node, but do not enable WIN10X64VM on a worker node, all executable files distributed to that worker are not scanned. |
