Checkpoint 23500 VSX Cluster and Vs"X" Cluster states.
================================================
Hi community , I have the following condition on my 23500 and would appreciate advice / support on what the condition is or how the correct behavior should be?
23500 VSX Set up
I have two 23500 set up as a cluster.
on each there exists
Vs0
Vs1 with Gateway config
Vs2 with gateway config
Vs3 named with no gateway config
Vs4 named with no gateway config
Checking the Operational state on the Primary GW the output indicates
1 (local) 169.254.1.1 100% ACTIVE PRIMARY
2 169.254.1.2 0% STANDBY SECONDARY
Checking the Operational state on the Secondary GW the output indicates
1 169.254.1.1 100% ACTIVE PRIMARY
2 (local) 169.254.1.2 0% STANDBY SECONDARY
This indictes the Condition that one would expect.
Then further down in the outputs the state of the four virtual Gateway states is as shown
On Primary
Virtual Devices Status on each Cluster Member
=============================================
ID | Weight| Pri_ | Sec_
| | VSX | VSX

-------+-------+-----------+-----------
1 | 10 | STANDBY | ACTIVE
4 | 10 | STANDBY | ACTIVE

looking at the above it seem to show that the HA Module is not started.
The issue here is that following the initial install ( 8 months ago) we observed that all the Gateway
were originally showing as active on either one of the two available gateways as ACTIVE.
Now following a re-build of the Secondary Gateway we are experiencing the " split brain" scenario
where some of the virtual Gateways are showing as active on GW Primary and on GW Secondary although when
checking in Virtual System zero the state of the Gateway is showing as Active on the Primary.
( From memory all the VS were originally showing as Active on the Instance of VS0 Active but now
we see this split in the Active Control)
Can anyone on here possibly advise what the issue may be or if there is any configuration that may have been missed
or incorrectly deployed?
