You can use that feature but that is not related to FGSP as also explained in the guide: 

standalone-config-sync is an independent feature and should be used with caution as there are some limitations. We recommend disabling it once the configurations have been synced over.

Hello Ali

I managed to set it up on 7.0.13 and worked as expected, I mean policies synchronized successfully from FG1 to FG2. Just try to redo the below config on your installation. If it doesn't work I'd suspect FOS 7.4.2.

Here is the full configuration I did (note there is no FGSP config here).

FG1:
config system ha
set group-id 10
set group-name "FG"
set hbdev "port2" 50
set standalone-config-sync enable
set priority 200
end

FG2:
config system ha
set group-id 10
set group-name "FG"
set hbdev "port2" 50
set standalone-config-sync enable
set priority 100
end

 

As you can see below cluster status shows nod B joined the cluster, and this is what you need to check on your installation (there is no FGSP here).

Hi Ali

I did a lab with 2 VMs, each has only 2 interfaces, port1 fort traffic and port2 for config sync (or HA if you want).

But doesn't really matter, I think I can even use only port1 as they are on the same VLAN.
