How to test HA

[george]

I have a SPLAT cluster set up as active / standby. I want to switch the functions of the gateways periodically to validate the standby gateway. Example
GW1 - active GW2 - Standby
reverse the roles
GW1 - standby GW2 - active
Reverse again
GW1 - active GW2 - Standby
etc....
What is the best way to do this? I tried changing the priority of the gateway in the security policy and re-installing the policy. That changed the roles, but some of my servers were no longer reachable. Any ideas would be welcome.
Tks..

Hi

From what I can remember with Splat you use the following commands

cphaprob -d 'firewall name' -s problem (this causes the fail over)

cphaprob -d 'firewall name' -s ok (this bring fails back)

I think that correct.

This is it:

cphaprob -d FailDevice -s problem -t o register
cphaprob -d failDevice -s ok report
