I have two identical ASA 5585 working in Active/Active. On Primary Unit i want to change
failover group 1
secondary
failover group 2
preempt
to
failover group 1
primary
failover group 2
primary
After configuring this change;
spyker/pri/act# conf t
spyker/pri/act(config)# failover group 1
spyker/pri/act(config-fover-group)# primary
spyker/pri/act(config)# failover group 2
spyker/pri/act(config-fover-group)# primary
spyker/pri/act(config-fover-group)# end
spyker/pri/act# end
I got the following situation
spyker/pri/act# sh run failover
failover group 1
failover group 2
Something seems to be missing ? Is it necessary first to disable failover or did I get the correct Output ?
any hint may help to solve my confusion
Thanks Manfred

That is normal since the primary command is the default one, so when you configure it and you do show run failover, it will not show up. However, if you use the command show run all failover, you should see it along with the other default settings. Also, please keep in mind that the command preempt might be useful if you want the failover group to take back control of the original role when the failure is cleared.

In active / active context you want to make failover group active :
Enter the following command in the system execution space of the unit where the failover group is in the standby state:
Or, enter the following command in the system execution space of the unit where the failover group is in the active state:
Entering the following command in the system execution space causes all failover groups to become active:
