VDOM: HA failover query

Hi, In our environment we have configured fortigate 1000C in HA with multiple vdoms. Kindly advise if HA failover is global parameter or per vdom based. Please advise if per vdom based ha loadbalancing/failover is possible and if more than one virtual cluster can be configured in fortigate.

Hi, You can have multiple clusters in HA. If you have for example, VdomA and VdomB you can create 2 VirtualClusters, first master for vdomA and second master for VdomB config system ha set vcluster2 enable set override enable config secondary-vcluster set override enable set vdom " VdomB" end end

I have only configured with 2 virtual clusters. You can have mutliple VDOMs in the same virtual cluster. In the event of a failure, the virtual cluster will fail over but not the entire unit, if you have one VDOM per virtual cluster, then only the one VDOM will fail over. Virtual clustering is also a good way to load balance both units. For more check the link below (page 114): http://docs.fortinet.com/fgt/handbook/50/fortigate-ha-50.pdf
