Disconnecting a cluster unit from a cluster
240
To change the host name and device priority of a subordinate unit in an operating cluster
with virtual domains enabled, log in as the global admin administrator and go to System >
Config > HA to display the cluster members list. Select Edit for any slave (subordinate)
unit in the cluster members list.
You can change the host name (Peer) and device priority (Priority) of this subordinate unit.
These changes only affect the configuration of the subordinate unit.
Figure 111: Changing the subordinate unit host name and device priority
Peer
View and optionally change the subordinate unit host name.
Priority
View and optionally change the subordinate unit device priority.
The device priority is not synchronized among cluster members. In a functioning cluster
you can change device priority to change the priority of any unit in the cluster. The next
time the cluster negotiates, the cluster unit with the highest device priority becomes the
primary unit.
The device priority range is 0 to 255. The default device priority is 128.
You can disconnect a cluster unit if you need to use the disconnected FortiGate unit for
another purpose, such as to act as a standalone firewall. You can go to System > Config >
HA and select a Disconnect from cluster icon to disconnect a cluster unit from a
functioning cluster without disrupting the operation of the cluster.
Figure 112: Disconnect a cluster member
Serial Number

Interface
Select the interface that you want to configure. You also specify the IP address
and netmask for this interface. When the FortiGate unit is disconnected, all
management access options are enabled for this interface.
IP/Netmask
Specify an IP address and netmask for the interface. You can use this IP address
to connect to this interface to configure the disconnected FortiGate unit.
