MR8 HA Setup virtual XG

Hello,

 

I configured HA, but after that the virtual XG have been unresponsive, so I disabled ha via the XG console. After that the auxiliary device did something like a factory reset - which is fine because I know that from UTM.

 

But know I cant setup the auxiliary device anymore, because I cant setup HA via the initial Interface. Also I cant use my Serial Number for the auxiliary device, because this number is already used.

If I click on Trial I get redirected to the Sophos Portal aswell and I get the same message "serial number already used"

 

If I do a "system diagnostics show version-info" I can see that both XG's use the same serial number.

 

Any advise?

  • Hi, did you clone your first virtual appliance. In order to work you need two different serial number. Regards,
  • Hi,

    yes we did clone the VM. But for my understanding the Serial Number is a licensing thing and I dont have a license for the "passive unit". Before MR8 I was able to do a "configure auxilliary device" via the Web UI. This was not possible here.

    I did a factory reset of the device via CLI and after that I get presented another version of the wizard which had the option to configure the auxiliary device.

     

    For me it looks like a misconception in the "activation flow" of MR8.
