Break an FDM-Managed High Availability Pairing
When you break HA, the configured interfaces on the standby device are automatically disabled. The devices may experience a disruption in traffic during this process. After the HA pair is successfully removed you will be redirected from the status page to the High Availability page where you will have the option to create another HA pair with the same primary device.
Note | You cannot deploy to either of the devices until the HA pair is successfully removed. |
Break HA with Management Interfaces
When you break HA for a pair that is configure with management interfaces, the break may take 10 minutes or longer to complete and both devices go offline during this process. When the HA configuration is successfully removed, Security Cloud Control displays both units as standalone devices in the Services & Devices page.
Break HA with Data Interfaces
When you break HA for a pair that is configured with data interfaces, the break may take 20 minutes or more to complete and both of the devices go offline. you must manually reconnect the active device after the HA configuration is removed.
The standby device retains the HA configuration, though, and will become unreachable since it has the same configuration as the active device. You must manually reconfigure the IP interfaces outside of Security Cloud Control, and then re-onboard the device as a standalone.
