This article describes the best practice to use the configuration from a FortiConverter for the FortiGate that is working in HA to avoid any split-brain or network storm issues.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
Convert the configuration for one unit in HA then follow the below steps:
Break the HA pair, where each unit is isolated to avoid any split-brain situation or to avoid a storm in the network.
Wipe the secondary unit clean from any configuration. When it rejoins the HA, to avoid a storm or split-brain situation.
Push the configuration on the primary unit where the config is normally loaded in the unit: Select the user name in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and select Configuration -> Restore.
