If one of the secondary FortiManager devices fails, which action must be performed to return the FortiManager HA manual mode to a working state?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The correct answer is D. In FortiManager HA manual mode, the study guide explains what happens when members change: if the primary fails, you must manually promote a secondary and repoint the others, but that is not this scenario. For a failed secondary, the relevant exact extract is: ''if you remove a secondary member from the HA configuration, the primary FortiManager removes the secondary serial number from the central management configuration of FortiGate, and updates the managed FortiGate devices immediately.''

Operationally, in the HA configuration, removing that failed secondary means deleting its HA peer entry from the primary, which corresponds to removing the failed device's peer IP. A is false because manual HA is not transparent in this case. B is only a diagnostic detail. C applies when the primary fails, not a secondary.

C) sounds right, promoting a working device makes sense.

I disagree, you definitely need to check the failed device first.

I thought the HA state transition was automatic, but I guess there might be manual steps involved if a device fails.

I’m leaning towards option C, promoting a secondary device, but I wonder if we also need to do something with the peer IPs.

I feel like I saw a similar question about HA configurations, and it mentioned checking the heartbeat packets, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think I remember that if a secondary device fails, we might need to promote another device, but I'm not sure if that's the only step.
