Description
This article explains how to change the cluster group-name.


Solution
Changing the cluster group-name from the master will automatically synchronize with the backup unit. There is no need to manually set the Group name on the backup unit.

For example:

Master/Primary:

Before Changing Group name:

#MASTER# conf sys ha
MASTER(ha) # sh
config system ha
set group-name "t123"
set mode a-p
set password 123456789
set hbdev "ha" 50
set override enable
set priority 230
end

Changing Group name:

#MASTER# conf sys ha
MASTER(ha) # sh
MASTER(ha) # set group-name test123
MASTER(ha) # end


After Changing Group name:

#MASTER# sh sys ha
config system ha
set group-name "test123"
set mode a-p
set password ENC xxxxxxx
set hbdev "wan2" 0
set override enable
set priority 230
end


Backup/Secondary:

Before Changing Group name:

#BACKUP# sh sys ha
config system ha
set group-name "t123"
set mode a-p
set password 123456789
set hbdev "ha" 50
set override disable
set priority 130
end


No need to change Group name on the Backup unit.

After Changing Group name on the Master unit:

#BACKUP# sh sys ha
config system ha
set group-name "test123"
set mode a-p
set password ENC xxxxxxx
set hbdev "wan2" 0
set override disable
set priority 130
end
