---
When you configure high availability, there is an automated setup of one-way, asynchronous replication of all datastores (Git repositories, MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch) from the primary to the replica appliance. Most {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} configuration settings are also replicated, including the {% data variables.enterprise.management_console %} password. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuration/administering-your-instance-from-the-management-console)."

{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} supports an active/passive configuration, where the replica appliance runs as a standby with database services running in replication mode but application services stopped.
{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} supports an active/passive configuration, where replica appliances run as a standby with database services running in replication mode but application services stopped.

After replication has been established, the {% data variables.enterprise.management_console %} is no longer accessible on replica appliances. If you navigate to a replica's IP address or hostname on port 8443, you'll see a "Server in replication mode" message, which indicates that the appliance is currently configured as a replica.

Replica appliances do accept Git client requests, and these requests are forwarded to the active appliance.
