Problem with FortiClient HA with Postgres Bitna mi Docker

[RahimovaN]

Hello, I wanted to install FortiClient EMS HA with Bitna mi Docker architecture with FortiClient EMS 7.4.4 image. For this, I used the official Postgres and FortiClient latest version packages. However, despite several attempts, EMS does not start with HA. I used the official documentation during the installation. Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Rahim

You are probably hitting one of the below known issues.

Yes, it looks like my problem. Is there any solution for this problem?

I don't see a workaround in the release notes. You probably need to open a ticket.

Meanwhile if the issue doesn't impact your production then you can leave it as is until TAC fixes the issue or a new fix is released.

Otherwise if it it actually has a bad impact on your production then I'd eliminate the HA for now until TAC fixes the issue or a new fix is released.
