Chapter 9 High Availability for FortiOS 5.0 : Operating a cluster : Cluster members list
  
Cluster members list
Display the cluster members list to view the status of the FortiGate units in an operating cluster. To display the cluster members list, go to System > Config > HA.
From the cluster members list you can also:
• View HA statistics (see “Viewing HA statistics”).
• View and optionally change the HA configuration of the operating cluster (see “Changing the HA configuration of an operating cluster”).
• View and optionally change the host name and device priority of a subordinate unit (see “Changing the subordinate unit host name and device priority”).
• Disconnect a cluster unit from a cluster (see “Disconnecting a cluster unit from a cluster”).
• Download the Debug log for any cluster unit. You can send this debug log file to Fortinet Technical Support to help diagnose problems with the cluster or with individual cluster units.

View HA Statistics
Display the serial number, status, and monitor information for each cluster unit. See “Viewing HA statistics”.
Up and down arrows
Change the order in which cluster members are listed. The operation of the cluster or of the units in the cluster are not affected. All that changes is the order in which cluster units are displayed on the cluster members list.
Cluster member
Illustrations of the front panels of the cluster units. If the network jack for an interface is shaded green, the interface is connected. Pause the mouse pointer over each illustration to view the cluster unit host name, serial number, and how long the unit has been operating (up time). The list of monitored interfaces is also displayed.
Hostname
The host name of the FortiGate unit. The default host name of the FortiGate unit is the FortiGate unit serial number.
• To change the primary unit host name, go to the system dashboard and select Change beside the current host name int System Information widget.
• To change a subordinate unit host name, from the cluster members list select the edit icon for a subordinate unit.
Role
The status or role of the cluster unit in the cluster.
• Role is MASTER for the primary (or master) unit
• Role is SLAVE for all subordinate (or backup) cluster units
Priority
The device priority of the cluster unit. Each cluster unit can have a different device priority. During HA negotiation, the unit with the highest device priority becomes the primary unit.
The device priority range is 0 to 255. The default device priority is 128.
Disconnect from cluster
Disconnect the cluster unit from the cluster. See “Disconnecting a cluster unit from a cluster”.
Edit
Select Edit to change a cluster unit HA configuration.
• For a primary unit, select Edit to change the cluster HA configuration. You can also change the device priority of the primary unit.
• For a primary unit in a virtual cluster, select Edit to change the virtual cluster HA configuration. You can also change the virtual cluster 1 and virtual cluster 2 device priority of this cluster unit.
• For a subordinate unit, select Edit to change the subordinate unit host name and device priority. See “Changing the subordinate unit host name and device priority”.
• For a subordinate unit in a virtual cluster, select Edit to change the subordinate unit host name. In addition you can change the device priority for the subordinate unit for the selected virtual cluster.
Download debug log
Download an encrypted debug log to a file. You can send this debug log file to Fortinet Technical Support to help diagnose problems with the cluster or with individual cluster units.
