NimbostratusQuery on HA implementation (Particularly HA group method)
Hi All,
Query on HA Implementation:
We have 2 Virtual Guests (Each on different hardware) configure for LTM+ASM, with HA configuration
HA method: HA Group method is implemented.
My queries are, 1)How can we manually force a device to be Active by default
2) Can we force a device to Stand by ?? ( in HA group it is not recommended or no option available to force a device to offline), if customer insist how do we force a device offline)
Thank you all

Hi,
HA group priorities configuration are local and not shared between traffic group members.
only current priority is known by all traffic group members.
if you want to fallback to a preferred member, configure more priority to this one:
example:
member 1 HA group : - trunk 1 (2 interfaces) : priority 40 - trunk 2 (2 interfaces) : priority 40 - pool GW (2 members) : priority 20
member 2 HA group : - trunk 1 (2 interfaces) : priority 40 - trunk 2 (2 interfaces) : priority 40 - pool GW (2 members) : priority 10
when working with HA groups, you can't use "force to standby". it is not working.
But you can force offline the whole device in
. when you edit the device, there is the buttonDevice Management ›› Devices
. I always use it when I insert a new device in Sync-failover to prevent the new device to be active before first config sync.Force Offline
