Configuring Active-Active

supps
Looking to implement an Active-Active solution. I have one Astaro firewall running v7.011 and is working fine, which has a HA licence installed already.

I have a duplicate machine with same hardware as first firewall, which I want to create a Active-Active system.

I have read through the instructions for creating a Active-Active cluster, but not sure on the steps I need to take to create Active-Active cluster

1. Install v7.011 on 2nd firewall
2. Import licence file onto 2nd firewall
3. Link both systems using x-over cable using same network card eth numbers
4. Setup 2nd firewall with same network connections as 1st firewall
5. On the 1st firewall, choose Cluster on high availablilty mode
6. Choose sync nic, that I have linked by x-over cable
7. Enter device name, device ID, encryption key and choose auto join.

Once I have done these steps, does the 1st firewall send its config to 2nd firewall and setup the Active-Active link?

Have I missed anything?

Tried reading through the instructions, but I don't think it goes into enough detail.

Thanks
Scott

    Yes, there is a PDF and HTML page about clustering, but it seems to jump between talking about appliances and the software version and doesn't give you any clear steps on what you need to do on the 2nd firewall.

    I feel that the HA on Astaro was a after thought as once you have the Active-Active running, it makes both boxes into one!
