| The Infoblox Grid Master is the central point of management within an Infoblox Grid. The Grid Master retains a full copy of the configuration used for the entire Grid. In the event of system failure, a configuration backup must be preserved. An Infoblox member may also be configured as a Grid Master Candidate which is a synchronized to the Grid Master. The Candidate can be promoted in the event of system failure on the Grid Master. | ||||
