This article describes how to resolve the GUI error 'HA is out of sync'.
FortiPAM.
In some cases, the FortiPAM GUI may show an 'HA is out of sync' warning even though the HA status and checksum status show 'OK' in the CLI. For example:
This issue is typically caused by outdated or cached browser data rather than an actual HA synchronization problem.
To resolve the error:
To verify HA status:
FPAVULTM2300$ get system ha status
HA Health Status: OK
To verify checksum status:
diagnose sys ha checksum cluster
