Description

 

This article lists the debugs that should be collected when troubleshooting HA issues.

Scope
 
FortiClient.


Solution

 

  1. The following debugs should be collected for any HA-related issues:

 

diagnose debug enable

diagnose debug console timestamp enable

diagnose debug application hatalk -1   ------ HA formation issues

diagnose debug application hasync-1    ------ HA Sync issues

 

  1. Run the following on both Master/Slave units and collect the info:

 

get system performance status

get system status
get system ha status
diagnose sys ha status
diagnose sys ha history read
diagnose debug crashlog read
diagnose sys ha showcsum
execute ha synchro start
execute ha manage 0 or 1 <------ This command will switch from CLI of the Master to Slave.
diagnose sys ha showcsum
diagnose sys ha dump 5

 

  1. Packet captures for seeing communication between HA ports:

 

diagnose hardware device nic <heart beats interface>
diagnose sniffer packet port_ha "" 4

 

  1. Collect the FortiGate’s HA and System EVENT logs for both units downloaded from the GUI/FortiAnalyzer or syslog (remote) server.
