Log Server thinks it in standby mode

[Daniel_Kavan]

Happy Birthday.

I don't have HA on my manager, but I do have one main manager and one log server/smart event server.   After upgrading to R81.10 JHF55 from JHF45 I noticed I can't edit gui access on either cpconfig or web ui.  Both add and delete were grayed out.   It's possible this is a R81.10 bug since I'm not sure I ever tried to edit gui access in R81.10.  Or some how I've managed to set these managers up with HA with out actually being aware of it.

cpconfig reports

Same here with an SmartEvent. Did you figure out how to fix it?

It's still showing it.

We're seeing the same thing, and no SK matching this text.

Have you tried via SmartConsole itself?

Only active management will show you active, other server like log server or SmartEvent is always on standby/read only.

GUI clients are being set with the primary MGMT and the definitions are updated on the log server/SmartEvent after publishing.

Thank you Chris and Amir,
This is what I suspected. I'm not personally working on this one, but was asked for help. I found no documentation matching the scenario, I'd say an SK is needed so folks can quickly get the necessary information and move on.
