Monitoring Automatic Failover

To monitor the current status of the failover pair, complete the following:

1. Go to the Settings icon > Setup > Failover Configuration tab.
   The Failover Configuration page appears, listing all device interfaces that are used by the system.
2. On the Failover Configuration page, the Status field displays the current status of the failover pair. The current status can be one of the following:

• • OK (green): Indicates that the failover pair is connected and synchronized. If the primary fails, the secondary automatically takes over the primary role.
  • Syncing (yellow): Indicates that the failover pair is connected and the primary and secondary are synchronizing data. If the primary fails during synchronization, the secondary system cannot automatically take over as the primary system.
  • Replication Down (red): Indicates that the failover pair is disconnected on the HA port but reachable on the MGMT port. This may be due to a cable mishap or when the secondary goes offline.
  • Peer Down (red): Indicates that the secondary has lost connection with the primary on both HA and MGMT ports.
