[HA Issue][v5.4.1] Going back to standalone after a reboot.

[AlexandreL]

Hi everybody.

I'm setting up a new Fortigate HA cluster (300D) and i have a strange issue. Each time i have to reboot a node of the cluster, he came back as a standalone Fortigate. 

Any idea how i can resolve that ? This is pretty annoying.

Here is the HA configuration.

config system ha
set group-name "Toto"
set mode a-p
set password ENC toto
set hbdev "mgmt1" 50 "mgmt2" 50 
set session-pickup enable
set ha-mgmt-status enable
set ha-mgmt-interface "Management" <= this is actually a vlan interface
set ha-mgmt-interface-gateway x.x.x
set override disable
end

Hi Ede the issue is related to the sub-interface(vlan) used for management purposes not the HA ports

[AlexandreL]

pyy is totally right

Management port 1 and 2 still works very fine as HA ports. It was the Management sub-interface for the HA which caused my problem.

Ah, thanks that you put that right explicitely.

Is my reasoning right that if you are allowed to select a VLAN port for the HA link it should work? So this might really be a bug (and should be reported to FTNT via support ticket - otherwise it might not be fixed).
