Enabling vCluster2

Hi,

I was wondering how disruptive it is to enable vCluster2 on a production Fortigate installation which is already up and running. Does it affect the existing traffic in any way?

Cheers!

Enabling the vcluster is not disruptive, and I have to disagree that it's not enabled by default

As suggested earlier; get sys ha status | grep vclu will tell you if vcluster#2 is enabled

Hello Emil,

Do you have multiple VDOMs in the setup?

If yes, then the vcluster2 is enabled by default.

However, you need to configure the secondary-vcluster to add the vdoms to it.

Yes, this might cause interruptions to the traffic if you are doing it in a production setup.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, i have 3 VDOMs, 2 out of which (root, vdomx) are handling production traffic at the moment. The third VDOM (vdomy) is not in use right now.

I want to configure the VDOM partitioning so that root and vdomx stay active in vcluster 1 (where they are now), and vdomy is active in vcluster 2.

My original query was actually more intended to mean "Will configuring the "secondary-vcluster" parameter disrupt traffic in the primary vcluster?".

Cheers!

Hello Emil,

I haven't tried this in a production setup, however, logically, it shouldn't impact the traffic if configured properly.

You enable the secondary vcluster and the production vdoms should be configured to have the current master as master and the new vdom for the current slave.

Hello,

What is the operation mode of this vCluster?

Attach the output of this command

"show sys ha"

"drag sys ha status"

Hi,

Just thought I'd report back. I enabled and configured the secondary vcluster (it was NOT enabled as default) and moved the inactive VDOM to it. We did not experience any disruptions to the production traffic.

Emil
