Check HA status

After HA is enabled, the HA status needs to be checked on both the Primary and Secondary units. Once HA has been configured, the effective operating mode is typically the same as the configured mode. However, the effective operating mode may diverge from the configured mode after HA failover is triggered.

HA Configured Mode

Displays the HA mode that you configured

Primary: Configured to be the primary unit.
Secondary: Configured to be the secondary unit.

HA Effective Mode

Displays the current operating mode

Primary: Acting as primary unit
Secondary: Acting as secondary unit
Failed: Occurs when network interface monitoring has detected a failure, failover is triggered afterward.

To check HA status with the CLI:

get system status

To check the HA status with the GUI:

Go to Dashboard > System Status > Network.
In the System Information widget, go to HA Status.
