AWS Getting Started - Create Second SoftNAS Instance for High Availability (HA)
To create your second SoftNAS instance for High Availability, please follow the instructions presented on AWS Getting Started - Create your SoftNAS Instances.
The difference here will be your Availability Zone. In the Network settings section, you need to ensure that you pick a subnet that is located in a different Availability Zone than what your first instance is in.
FOR EXAMPLE: If the first SoftNAS instance you created was assigned a subnet that was located in us-east-2a, your second SoftNAS instance would need an assigned subnet that was located in us-east-2b or us-east-2c.
Do NOT create a column on the second instance. The storage pool on the second instance serves as a landing strip for the volume in a failover situation.
