Solved: Backup FMC installation

Oban3jimmy · ‎04-22-2019

Hi,

im looking at installing a different FMC at a backup data centre.

Can you install a second FMC (ESXi) and link the two so one is always the primary and secondary only kicks in if primary goes down? This is like Checkpoint basically ... thanks

Hi There,
I don't believe there is an official supported ha option for virtual fmc. Physical appliance only.

There were a few ideas thrown around below that could be conjured up though.
