Configure HA. Not monitoring eth3?

I recently had to unconfigure HA between two SG 430s because of an issue with postgresql. I am now trying to reconfigure HA but I'm not getting link lights when I connect the cables. The cables are connected to eth3, but the live log says it's "Monitoring interfaces for link beat: eth1". I tried disabling link monitoring on eth1, but got "Found no interfaces in /etc/ha/lbeat_interfaces for link beat monitoring". I had rebooted the Slave UTM and briefly saw link lights with the log "Netlink: Found link beat on eth3 again!", but the immediately went off and "Netlink: Lost link beat on eth3!" was logged.

Sometimes a re-image is better than a factory reset. If the appliance was powered on more then 30 day ago, the factory trial license is expired and ha is no longer working.
Remember to check, if ha is set on "automatic" with an ha interface defined. The bigger appliances does not have a dedicated ha-port (usually eth3) defined, so the factory default is ha = off. On newer versions there is an lcd menu entry for ha interface, i think.

good luck!
