Hi shaggy,

 

as I already mentioned, this was with v10 and we are using network failover only. In this setup we are not using HA groups and vlan or gateway failsafe will not be used from us at all. Failover addresses are:

 

  • Unit1: 192.168.0.1/29
  • Unit2: 192.168.0.2/29

Unit2 was Standby and after reboot into the new partition it was still Standby. Then we made a manual failover and updated unit1, but after the reboot it became automatically Active instead of staying in Standby.

 

Ciao Stefan :)
