UTM9 Active-Passive HA on vmWare

TerryJohnson
After three weeks of troubleshooting we still haven't got our active-passive HA pair of UTMs working properly.

All VMs of the same vmWare host as the passive UTM still have its MAC addresses in their ARP tables as the destinations for packets to the UTM IP addresses, so they can't ping the UTM or communicate at all outside of their own subnet. Everything works fine with only one UTM running, and we also have some CentOS Cluster VMs and they can move IP addresses around without any issues.

What mechanism does UTM9 HA use to update ARP?  There must be something subtly different about the way UTM9 does it and the way CentOS does it…

    That seems to have done the trick, but it shouldn't be necessary to drop to root and use cc just to get up and running. 

    The point of paying good money for a professionally supported firewall is not to have to fiddle with it...
