HA active-active rebooting

Hi all,

 

I have 2 firewalls configured as active-active HA. Now I need to format disk for it to enable the logging. 

My question now is; when I do the format disk on the 1st unit (system reboot), will the network get directed to 2nd unit causing 1 ping drop? or will both units go down at the same time?

 

Thanks in advance,

D

    Hi,

     

    If you format the disk, only the firewall you are connected to will reboot.

     

    I would do it like this:

     

    First connect to the "slave":

    execute ha manage 0                 

     

    then format the disk:

    execute disk format 0

     

    The slave unit will reboot, wait until it´s up and running again, then perform the format on the master unit,

    And yes, the cluster will do a failover and you will probably only loose a ping.
