load-balance-all    : disable

 

Can you adjust this? Was it ever adjusted? ( look at your  config system ha options from the cli ( load-balance ) )

 

edit: please becarefull if you load-balance all or make adjustments. I would do this on a load peak hour and monitor for the next 1-4 days for any issues. Sometime A-A doesn't work very good imho and experience.
