Initial Setup HA Pair

noelnatalie — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:07:46 GMT

I've been working on the initial setup for a new FAS 3250 HA System. I have two controllers. When I add the first controller into System Manager is shows as HA Pair but does not have a partner. When I add the second controller it shows as a storage controller. Discover does not show them as partners. The second controller also does not have the licenses listed and a several other things are missing in the System Manager. When I do a cf status on the first controller the error is partner mailbox disks not accessible or invalid. CF status on the second controller says it is not licensed. Does anyone know what I need to do to get these two to work together?

Thank you for your help,

Natalie

Hi,

First you need to have the two controller with the CFO license,

After applying cluster license a reboot is necessary, after check the status with cf status

An other point must be check => The options httpd.admin, must be enable

And discover again in Oncommand System Manager .

Thank you. It looks like none of the licenses were installed on the second controller. When I added them and rebooted the discovery found them as a pair.
