Confirming that the FortiGate-7000F HA cluster is synchronized

After an HA cluster is up and running, you can use the HA Status dashboard widget to view status information about the cluster. You can also use the get system ha status command to confirm that the cluster is operating normally. As highlighted below, the command shows the HA health status, describes how the current primary FortiGate-7000F was selected, shows if the configuration is synchronized (configuration status), and indicates the serial numbers of the primary and secondary FortiGate-7000Fs.

For a FortiGate-7000F HA cluster to operate normally, the configurations of both FortiGate-7000Fs and the FIMs and FPMs in these devices must be synchronized. The Configuration Status information provided by the get system ha status command is a useful indicator of synchronization status of the cluster. The information provided indicates whether the FortiGate-7000Fs in the cluster are in-sync (or out-of-sync) and includes checksums of each FortiGate-7000F configuration. If the two FortiGate-7000Fs are synchronized, these checksums must match.
