The NetApp Console supports using multiple Console agents with a single working environment. Using multiple Console agents can be helpful for maintaining access to resources while performing maitenance on another Console agent or if a Console agent fails. Because each Console agent has a unique identifier, improperly switching Console agents can compromise the availability of resources in a working environment.
