Description This article describes what happens when executing the command 'diagnose sys ha reset-uptime-primary-only' while configuring 'set override-disable'.
Scope FortiGate v7.4.0 and later.
Solution
In the current example, HA (A-P mode) is configured between FortiGate-VMs
 
FGVM04-HA01, FGVM04TM24003359 <----- Primary unit.
FGVM04-HA02, FGVM04TM24000439 <----- Secondary unit.
 
config system ha
    set group-id 16
    set group-name "HA-TACMEX"
    set mode a-p
    set password ENC 94odNCJomUZjyyazc
    set hbdev "port10" 0 
    set session-pickup enable
    set override disable
    set monitor "port1" "port2"
end
 
From v7.4.0, the command 'diagnose sys ha reset-uptime-primary-only' has been added to the HA diagnostic commands so the options to reset the HA unit uptime are:
 
reset-uptime                 <----- Reset HA up time.
reset-uptime-primary-only    <----- Reset HA up time (can take effect on the primary unit only).
 
  • 'reset-uptime' will reset the HA unit uptime no matter to what HA unit the command is applied.
  • 'reset-uptime-primary-only' will take only effect if it is applied on the primary unit.
