SSD failure

SSD failure

FortiGate-6501F or 6301F HA clusters support SSD (log disk) failover. SSD failover is disabled by default. You can use the following command to enable SSD failover:

config system ha

set ssd-failover enable

end

If SSD failover is enabled, if an SSD on the primary FortiGate-6501F or 6301F fails, an HA failover occurs and the FortiGate-6501F or 6301F with operating SSDs becomes the primary.

If an SSD fails on the secondary FortiGate-6501F or 6301F, its status in the cluster does not change. However, in future negotiations the FortiGate-6501F or 6301F with an SSD failure is less likely to become the primary.
