Description
This article describes how to re-join the cluster device correctly after it is added when HA member auto grouping is disabled.
By design, if an HA cluster device is added to FortiAnalyzer it will only need to authorize the Primary, but since the ha-member-auto-grouping is disabled the device acts as individually.
It is possible to confirm after authorization it will counted per device, by the command 'diagnose dvm device list'.
Scope
FortiAnalyzer, FortiGate.
Solution
There are two ways to add the cluster in the FortiAnalyzer device manager:
- Select the Primary device to edit and add the Secondary Serial Number.
The HA Status will show Secondary as a New Device instead of the hostname.
- Select the Secondary device and remove the HA Cluster status:
Select the Primary device and add HA Cluster List -> Enable From Existing Devices -> Dropdown will show the Secondary device.
Note:
Refresh the browser whenever changes are made. It is possible to see the cluster with the correct hostname, and it is detected as one device.
