High Avail. Sync broken

Sounds like your SYNC interface is not configured correctly. Can you ping across it? Check the firewall rules on it.
-
yes master (10.88.88.1) can ping slave on 10.88.88.2
and slave can ping master on 10.88.88.1.I have this in log now on master

Are you passing the traffic on the sync interface on the secondary?
Are both nodes set to the same webgui settings (http/https/port) and have the same username and password set?
-
Sorry fo the response delay,
Yes both node are on https same port.
Both node use dedicated ionterface for the sync, no vlan .
Here are the new log :

Each time i make a change on master it's very long to validate .
Thanks for your help Derelict.
-
Can you bring up the webgui on the secondary at the time?
Do firewall rules pass xmlrpc (webgui) traffic on the sync interface?
If looks like the primary cannot connect to the secondary there. Need to isolate the reason why that is so.

Hallo

And what was your configuration problem ? may be I am still missing something.

Hallo,
I used the HA1 IP 192.168.200.1 and HA2 IP 192.168.200.2. Normally netmask /24 for the network 192.160.200.0/24.
But after double checking, on the slave, the netmask was /32. I don't know how it was here?
After correction, all is now working fine.Rgds.

Hello,
Thanks for tip, I had this correctly configured, but I find out fact, that my sync is not working, when I have my DNS resolver Turned ON. May be this will also help somebody. -
I wanted to simply add that I had this same problem and thankfully found your suggestion to turn off DNS Resolver....this is unfortunate that it is required for HA Sync to work. I'll continue to investigate.
My error log also stated "The pfSense software configuration version of the other member could not be determined. Skipping synchronization to avoid causing a problem!"

The above error sounds similar to this bug in pfSense, which was since resolved:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7326#note-2 (the code didn't wait long enough for unbound to stop before trying to start it again...in our case the master server was unaffected but the backup router would end up with unbound not running)re: HA sync, we have "DNS Forwarder and DNS Resolver configurations" checked in our setup and have no sync issues. So I don't think that by itself is an issue.
