Disabling Firewall Management Center High Availability

Procedure


Step 1

Log into one of the Firewall Management Centers in the high availability pair.

Step 2

Choose Integration > Other Integrations.

Step 3

Choose High Availability.

Step 4

Choose Break High Availability.

Step 5

Choose one of the following options for handling managed devices:

  • To control all managed devices with this Firewall Management Center, choose Manage registered devices from this console. All devices will be unregistered from the peer.

  • To control all managed devices with the other Firewall Management Center, choose Manage registered devices from peer console. All devices will be unregistered from this Firewall Management Center.

  • To stop managing devices altogether, choose Stop managing registered devices from both consoles. All devices will be unregistered from both Firewall Management Centers.

Note
  • If you choose to manage the registered devices from the secondary Firewall Management Center, the devices will be unregistered from the primary Firewall Management Center. The devices are now registered to be managed by the secondary Firewall Management Center. However the licenses that were applied to these devices are deregistered on account of the high availability break operation. You must now proceed to re-register (enable) the licenses on the devices from the secondary Firewall Management Center. For more information see Assign Licenses to Devices.

  • The standby management center retains the access control policies after the HA break is complete.
