NacreousHi,
Using the webui, you can force the active unit to standby by following the below procedure :
- Go to the webui of the active unit
- Go to Device Management >> Devices
- Select your actual active unit
- press "Force to standby" button
- press "OK" when the webui prompt you for a popup asking : "Force this device to standby ?"
Your active unit should switch to standby. Pay attention that the "auto fallback" is disabled in the device group. Otherwise, the newly standby unit will come back to active state.
mrp_235984So If i use the "force to standby" button on the active box, it becomes the standby box So it means the previously standby box WILL turn to active right?- Yann_Desmarest_Yes, that's true.
- mrp_235984Do you have any additional tips or advice?
- Yann_Desmarest_make sure autofallback is not activated and that your clustering configuration is working fine
- mrp_235984Thank you!
