Verifying that the cluster is synchronized

After the HA cluster is up and running, you can use the following command to confirm that the configurations of the management boards and all of the FPCs in both FortiGate-6000s in the cluster are synchronized:

diagnose sys confsync showcsum

Run this command from the management board CLI of each FortiGate-6000 in the cluster. The command output displays configuration checksums for the management board and all of the FPCs. If the cluster is synchronized, both management boards and all of the FPCs in both ForttiGate-6000s should have the same checksums. As well these checksums should match the checksums shown by the output of the diagnose sys ha ckecksum cluster command.

The FortiGate-6000 uses a custom FGCP HA implementation and the diagnose sys ha checksum cluster command may show incorrect checksums so can't be used to check cluster synchronization.
