Checking the cluster status

  1. Log into the primary FortiController CLI and enter the following command to view the system status of the primary FortiController.

    get system status
    Version: FortiController-5103B v5.0,build0024,140815
    Branch Point: 0024
    Serial-Number: FT513B3912000029
    BIOS version: 04000009
    System Part-Number: P08442-04
    Hostname: ch1-slot1
    Current HA mode: dual, master
    System time: Mon Sep 15 10:11:48 2014
    Daylight Time Saving: Yes
    Time Zone: (GMT-8:00)Pacific Time(US&Canada)
  2. Enter the following command to view the load balance status of the primary FortiController and its workers. The command output shows the workers in slots 3, 4, and 5, and status information about each one.

    get load-balance status
      ELBC Master Blade: slot-3
      Confsync Master Blade: slot-3

        Heartbeat: Management: Good  Data: Good
       Status Message:"Running"
  3. Enter the following command from the primary FortiController to show the HA status of the FortiControllers.

    The command output shows a lot of information about the cluster including the host names and chassis and slot locations of the FortiControllers, the number of sessions each FortiController is processing (in this case 0 for each FortiController) the number of failed workers (0 of 3 for each FortiController), the number of FortiController front panel interfaces that are connected (2 for each FortiController) and so on. The final two lines of output also show that the B1 interfaces are connected (status=alive) and the B2 interfaces are not (status=dead). The cluster can still operate with a single heartbeat connection, but redundant heartbeat interfaces are recommended.

  3. Enter the following command from the primary FortiController to show the HA status of the FortiControllers.

    The command output shows a lot of information about the cluster including the host names and chassis and slot locations of the FortiControllers, the number of sessions each FortiController is processing (in this case 0 for each FortiController) the number of failed workers (0 of 3 for each FortiController), the number of FortiController front panel interfaces that are connected (2 for each FortiController) and so on. The final two lines of output also show that the B1 interfaces are connected (status=alive) and the B2 interfaces are not (status=dead). The cluster can still operate with a single heartbeat connection, but redundant heartbeat interfaces are recommended.
