ASA 5550 High Availability Situation

[Hubert.philip]

We have a couple of 5550's setup as an active/passive HA pair.  Recently one of the firewalls (standby) had a hardware issue and needed to be replaced.  Would it be easier/better to just restore the backup config from the defective appliance or should we just use the HA wizard in ASDM or cli to configure the new standby firewall?

Thanks,

PTH

Just replace the firewall and put in the failover commands then plug in the failover interface on each ASA and you will be good to go. The standby will download the active configuration.
