Description
When RAID is configured on one device but not on the other(s) it will result in a different hard disk status.
By default, when configuring high availability (HA), FortiGates with different revision levels and/or hard disk status will NOT be able to join together in a cluster.
The following commands will enable FortiGates with different revision hardware to form an HA cluster.
Scope
FortiGates are the same model but with different hardware revisions.
Solution
Executing the above command disables 'config system storage' as well as disk logging.
For more information, refer to the 'Troubleshooting HA clusters' section of the chapter 'High Availability' in the FortiOS Handbook.
