Managing FortiGate in a virtual cluster

You can select the HA option Do NOT Synchronize Management VDOM Configuration if you have enabled multiple VDOMS and set a VDOM other than the root VDOM to be the management VDOM. You can select this option to prevent the management VDOM configuration from being synchronized between cluster units in a virtual cluster. This allows you to add an interface to the VDOM in each cluster unit and then to give the interfaces different IP addresses in each cluster unit, allowing you to manage each cluster unit separately.

You can also enable this feature using the following command:

config system ha

set standalone-mgmt-vdom enable

end

This feature must be disabled to manage a cluster using FortiManager.
