system ha on-failure set

system ha on-failure

Use this command to control the behavior of a FortiMail unit in an active-passive HA group when remote service monitoring detects a failure. In most cases you should set On Failure to wait for recovery and then assume slave role. In this mode when service monitoring detects a failure the FortiMail unit effective operating mode changes to FAILED. In FAILED mode the FortiMail unit and can automatically recover, switch to the SLAVE effective operating mode and synchronize MTA spool directories with the other FortiMail unit which should be operating in the MASTER effective operating mode.

Syntax

set system ha on-failure {off restore slave}

Keywords/Variables	Description	Default
off	After a failure the FortiMail unit effective operating mode changes to
	OFF. The FortiMail unit will not process mail or join the HA group until
	you manually change the FortiMail unit effective operating mode to
	MASTER (primary) or SLAVE (backup).
restore	Similar to slave the FortiMail unit effective operating mode changes to
	FAILED when remote service monitoring detects a failure. However, in
	this case on recovery the failed FortiMail unit effective operating mode
	switches back to its configured operating mode. This behavior may be
	useful in some scenarios but may cause problems in others.
slave	The FortiMail unit effective operating mode changes to FAILED when
	remote service or local network interface service monitoring detects a
	failure. In FAILED mode the FortiMail unit uses remote service
	monitoring to attempt to connect to the other FortiMail unit in the HA
	group (which should be operating as the primary unit with effective
	operating mode of MASTER). If you fix the problem that caused the
	failure the failed FortiMail unit recovers by changing its effective
	operating mode to SLAVE. The failed FortiMail unit then synchronizes
	the content of its MTA spool directories to the FortiMail unit operating as
	the primary unit. The primary unit can then deliver this email.

Example

Enter the following command to configure a FortiMail unit to switch to FAILED effective operating mode and when restored, to change the effective operating mode to SLAVE.

set system ha on-failure slave
