Add Standby APIC in ACI version 6.0

[ragungpr]

Im trying to add standby APIC in Cisco ACI 6.0. Refering to Cisco Configuration Guide, there should be "Standby Controller" section in System->Controller page but i didnt see one, only "Active Controller" and Unauthorized Controller" sections.

anyone having similiar issue while trying to add standby node ? im using virtual APIC version 6.0(2h) btw.

Looks fine in my lab, I see all three sections.  

Can you try clearing your browser cache and/or Private/Incognito mode, failing that, try from another workstation and/or browser.

I have a single Physical controller.  
Is your APIC Cluster fully virtual?

Might want to try clearing your browser cache, trying from another browser or Private/Incognito mode as well.

Standby APIC not supported with a virtual cluster.
