I am setting up a new Active-/Passive XG cluster. I did some testings and the results seem a bit strange to me.
- HA was completely up and running.
- I deactivated HA from the auxiliary/passive device (should that be possible at all?), then this device in HA status went to"Faulty" on the primary/active device.
- I deactivated HA on the primary/active device, too.
So at this point I had 2 standalone appliances again.
- I reactivated HA on the auxiliary device and initiated the HA on the primary device again.
- After a few minutes the cluster was up and running again.
I received several mails from the auxiliary device, that user "hauser" used wrong credentials to login via SSH.
I know/understand WHO he is, but I don't understand why he is using wrong credentials.
I used the same passphrase for HA creation that I used in my first attempt.
The second thing is about pattern updates. I only updated all pattern updates on the primary device. Logging into the auxiliary's WebAdmin I saw this:
I was not allowed to "Install" the pattern updates (which made no sense at all, since it was the same version, already installed). That was the reason why I deactivated HA after it was built. Being a "Standalone" the pattern update Install buttons worked again.
So my questions:
- is "hauser's activity" in using wrong credentials normal? First I only re-enabled HA from the auxiliary again to see if they would reunite. Maybe the mails came from that time.
- Is there any official way to get rid of the "already installed updates" ready to install on the auxiliary?
- When will Sophos fix the name issues to make things a bit transparent?
- In dashboard overview they are still called master (A-P (M)) and slave (A-P (S)), maybe with much interpretation will "master" and "standby".
- In cluster creation and mode they are called by funcionality, "active" and "passive".
- In cluster status they are called "primary" and "auxiliary".
