Description
Enables or disables HA, and selects the initial configured role this FortiVoice
unit in the HA group.
• off: The FortiVoice unit is not operating in HA mode.
• master: The FortiVoice unit is the primary unit in an active-passive HA
group.
• slave: The FortiVoice unit is the secondary unit in an active-passive HA
group.
Select one of the following behaviors of the primary unit when it detects a
failure, such as on a power failure or from service/interface monitoring.
• switch off: Do not process phone calls or join the HA group until you
manually select the effective operating mode (see
configuration/data sync" on page 59
operating mode" on page
• wait for recovery then restore original role: On recovery, the failed primary
unit's effective HA mode of operation resumes its configured master role.
This also means that the secondary unit needs to give back the master role
to the primary unit. This behavior may be useful if the cause of failure is
temporary and rare, but may cause problems if the cause of failure is
permanent or persistent.
• wait for recovery then restore slave role: On recovery, the failed primary
unit's effective HA mode of operation becomes slave, and the secondary
unit continues to assume the master role. The primary unit then
synchronizes with the current master unit. The new master unit can then
deliver phone calls. For information on manually restoring the FortiVoice
unit to acting in its configured HA mode of operation, see
restore configured operating mode" on page
In most cases, you should select the wait for recovery then restore slave role
option.
For details on the effects of this option on the Effective Operating Mode, see
Table . For information on configuring service/interface monitoring, see
"Configuring service-based failover" on page
This option appears only if
Enter an HA password for the HA group. You must configure the same Shared
password value on both the primary and secondary units.
