Hello,

I have a cluster of 2 members,

now FW2 is the primary,

and FW1 is on standby.

I want to make FW1 primary again without rebooting FW2,

there is command on CLI to make FW1 primary again?

thanks

Hi,

the command in expert mode is: "clusterXL_admin down". Do that on the active member and make sure to use "clusterXL_admin up" to make the member standby afterwards. Otherwise it will stay in "Down" state.

#cphaprob state

will show the cluster xl states of all members. For failover, use in CLISH

#set cluster member admin down

#set cluster member admin up

Or in Expert mode use:

#clusterXL_admin down

#clusterXL_admin up
