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)?

      ---LAN Switch---





Thanks

    here's one..i have an existing software installation..i am moving to a virtual setup.  Can a vm and a physical install be slaved together as long as the switches are laid out correctly and use the switch ports correctly?  it seems in theory it should work.

    Hmmm the "Status" value "UNLINKED" , includes this value all interfaces?
    I probably know what the problem is.
    I connected HA, LAN and WAN. But the first node (currently my standalone firewall) has a special connection (eth4) to another astaro firewall (Other networks). But I didn't connect this interface on the second node, could that be the unlinked problem? Should I try it again with a switch between these eth4 nics? (But why is also node #1 unlinked?)

    Or could it be the wan switch (or lan)? Any problems with arp?
    I don't need a special switch right? I have only one (two) switch before/behind the astaro cluster, could that be a problem?

    In HA, both Astaros must have identical connections.
