Create cluster with two nodes

raffis
Hi

I have one running asg320 as a standalone fw/router.
Now we have a second asg320, I want create an active-active cluster with these two asg320.

My question is, can I install the second one (or can I build the cluster ) during the first one is online?

Just start the second one, connect the two HA interfaces, Setup Active-Active Cluster on the first one, connect wan and lan cable on the second one and that's it? (I get no problems if I connect the second one to the provider switch)?

    This should help:

    First, connect all cables, then turn on.

    Thanks, I hope that works [[:)]]


    Raffis, you need to double your licensing if you install a Cluster (Active-Active). If you just install as Hot-Standby (Active-Passive), no additional licensing is needed.

    Yes thanks, I have an additional testing license for 30 days to test the active-active cluster [[:)]]

    pfffff, I installed the testing license on the active standalone firewall, and configured the firewall as active-active cluste node. After that step, some servers were not accessible from outside. traceroute hangs on the provider core gateways. I called them to clear the arp cache and it seems working now ^^. Does the astaro change the mac address after cluster configuration ?? [:O]
    I hope, there will be no problems to install the second node.....
    But again:
    I just configure the second node to fetch HA auto configuration right?
    And that's it, I don't have to configure any network interfaces (additional addresses, lan, wan)?

    Thanks

    Yes, it creates a new virtual MAC for all interfaces, so failover is seamless.  If you look in the hardware tab on your cluster in webadmin, you'll see the virtual mac addresses listed.
