You need to aware all the Policies / Objects / Object Groups are stored in the FMC, if you reset to factory all will be lost.

Make sure you have backup before reset to restore and Configure FTD re-registering.

before doing any further action - i will suggest to raise a TAC case see if that can be resolved any quick fix

- like checking disk space

- any obnormal logs

Hi,

I tried with TAC but it is not happening , Since I cannot provide remote access due to some security reasons, I have to do it of my own,

Can you let me know the process/Challenges to reconfigure FMC , FTDs are in HA

1.What will happen if I try to delete HA with out breaking it

2.What will happen If I break the HA,I have to break HA as I cannot remove Sensors from FMC until they are standalone

3.Is there any Specific command to reset fmc to default config

Thanks

Thanks for your help, I have reimaged the FMC and add the FTDs in HA,

Now the issue is different, I could do deployment when Secondary unit is active but could not deploy when Primary unit is active.

Have anyone seen such issues ?
