Description
This article describes how to access to slave unit, from the master unit using '# execute ha manage'. The FortiGate units are configured in HA cluster A-P or A-A cluster, to gain access to slave from the master unit CLI console.
Scope
Version 6.2.1 onwards.
Solution
On previous versions of FortiGate using '# exe ha manage <index ID>', users were able to login to the slave unit, however, from 6.2.1 onwards command syntax changed.
Use the following command:
# execute ha manage <index-ID> <admin-username>
Find the index number from the # get sys ha status command output.
For Example:
# get sys ha status
HA Health Status: OK
Model: FortiGate-600E
Mode: HA A-P
...
...
...
Primary : Primary-Fortigate , FG6H0ETB21900953, HA cluster index = 0
Secondary : Secondary-Fortigate , FG6H0ETB21900951, HA cluster index = 1
number of vcluster: 1
...
...
Hence in this case use the below command to log in to Slave from Master:
# execute ha manage 1 admin
