Standalone Quarantine Terminology

Learn terminology that can help you plan, configure, and deploy standalone quarantine services for Symantec Messaging Gateway.
Previous releases of Symantec Messaging Gateway supported quarantine functionality only as part of a Control Center instance. Beginning with version 10.8.0, you can now install and manage standalone spam quarantine services as individual functional components.
The following list contains terms and definitions that can help you understand how to plan, configure and deploy the new standalone quarantine functionality.
Standalone Quarantine
Quarantine instance without a Control Center on the same instance.
Active Quarantine
A quarantine instance that is the active quarantine instance for a Control Center. A cluster must have one active quarantine; this may be a local or standalone quarantine instance.
Inactive Quarantine
A quarantine instance that is not the active quarantine instance for a Control Center. In version 10.8.0, the inactive quarantine must be a local quarantine. 
Central Control Center
A Control Center that has control over a quarantine instance.
Cluster
The group of hosts that includes a central Control Center and at least one active standalone quarantine instance.
Quiescent status
Quarantine servers can have one of three status designations:
Active
,
Inactive
, and
Quiescent
.
When a quarantine server's status is
Active
, users can log in, release and delete messages from quarantine, and the server can accept new messages.
When a quarantine server's status is
Inactive
, users cannot log in, release or delete messages, and the server cannot accept new messages.
When a quarantine server's status is
Quiescent
, users can log in, release and delete messages from quarantine, but the quarantine server cannot accept new messages.
