Fortigate HA in-sync/out-of-sync

2016-10-04T14:00:20.092804+02:00 date=2016-10-04 time=14: 00:13 devname=FG800C3913801910 devid=FG800C3913801910 logid=0100037903 type=event subtype=system level=information vd="root" msg="The sync status with the master" sync_type=configurations sync_status="in-sync" 2016-10-04T14:00:25.128612+02:00 date=2016-10-04 time=14: 00:19 devname=FG800C3913801910 devid=FG800C3913801910 logid=0100037903 type=event subtype=system level=information vd="root" msg="The sync status with the master" sync_type=configurations sync_status="out-of-sync"

I have a lot of logs like the ones above. In fact it seems that master and slave are not in sync. The synchronization status of the two cluster units :

However with diagnose sys ha showcsum 01 for each vdom and diagnose sys ha showcsum 1 on both master and slave units I've found there are no differences. So why ??? what shall I check yet ? maybe I should force recalculating checksum on slave or both units with command diag sys ha csum-recalculate ? or just forcing resync on the slave unit with the command exec ha synchronize start ?

Hi,

 

Which firmware do you have ?

 

I had sometimes this issue with firmware 5.2.3. A diag sys ha csum-recalcutate on both unit will stop these log.

Hello,

On this way, check first the hello packets knows as FGCP in Fortinet which number is 703 TCP.

Execute this command and attach the output.

 

diagnose sniffer packet any 'port 703' 4

 

Best regards,

Passing by just to say that we were with this exactly problem.

 

Just did the recalculate-checksum and aparently it solved our problem.

Hi

I have exactly the same problem with my 2-Node Cluster Version v5.4.4,build6003 (GA)

once per day we are getting 2 Messages/Mails mostly / always in the same time!

"out-of-sync" and "in-sync" !

 

Since we have Fortigate and Company!!!5 Months!

 

di sys ha cluster-csum -- show that  Cluster are in-sync!

 

On other 2-Node Cluster with the same Version v5.4.4,build6003 (GA) we didn't have this kind of messages

till last week!

 

What I did?:

I  create 1 FQDN Address Object and I create Firewall policy with this FQDN FQDN Address Object. FQDN Address Object: albaulicense.alsoft.net (resolved and O.K.)

Now I start getting this messages "out-of-sync" and "in-sync"  also on other HA! once per day and mostly always in the same time!

If I disable this policy, that I create above, messages doesn't stops, but if I delete this policy messages stopped coming!

Did somebody have Idea why and how can I resolve this problem and stop this messages coming?  

 

Thanks

I get one out of sync message every night when the unit does it's ips signature update, I just live with it. My units are scheduled to pull updates at 1am and I see the same errors a few mi utes later every night.

Problem solved here too recalculating checksum in master unit. The problem began when rebooting slave unit for testing. In 5.4 the command is: diagnose sys ha checksum recalculate

This is normal behaviour.

Checksum recalculate worked for me as well. V6.4.4

We have the same problem (Cluster in/out of sync) since upgrading from 6.4.7 to 7.0.5.

#diagnose sys ha checksum recalculate command does not help (have tried on both primary and secondary node)

 

Any suggestions how to fix this?

AlexC-FTNT

Check first what your logs are about:

 sync_type=external-files / configurations / etc
And then isolate that part of configuration that is different.

There is no universal fix for everyone!
