CheckPoint HA: How to force a failover (ClusterXL/VRRP)
Hi Everyone,
Based on some recent conversations I've had, it seems most people don't know how to force or test a failover with Check Point HA.
There is a single requirement for non-SPLAT/GAIA systems; FW-1 Monitoring State needs to be enabled. If you're running IPSO, you can do this via the VRRP configuration page.
To force a failover, run the following commands on the current cluster master:
This creates a pnote (problem notification) that is in problem state:
cphaprob -d fail -s problem -t 0 register
Verify it's in problem state with
cphaprob stat
and
cphaprob -i list
(you should see 'fail' in problem state)
Once you've finished your testing, run these two to reset it:
cphaprob -d fail -s ok report
cphaprob -d fail unregister
