      Hi Everyone,

      We recently purchased an SG-4860. I was able to configure High Availability thanks to
      this  guide https://portal.pfsense.org/docs/guides/highavailability/ha-on-sg-4860.html

      The primary node just bit the dust and the guide doesn't touch on what to do
      when one of you nodes has to be replaced. Can anyone give me some advice or direct
      me to a link on what to do.

      Thank you.

          Hardware is dead. We are already in the process of getting an RMA.
          What I wanted to know is the configuration I have done for High Availability,
          when I get the replacement unit what steps do I need to do get be back
          on High Availability. Sorry if I was not clear on my initial post.

          Thanks

            Just restore your primary's config backup. You have a backup of it?

              OK. Thanks
              FYI… the unit was not really dead.
              We were told that the capacitors in this model takes a while to discharge.
              When we had a blip on our power, the ups where the unit was plug into
              somehow did not hold the unit up. All we had to do was unplug the power
              cable from the unit for a few minutes to let the capacitors discharge. It came
              back up after plugging the power cable back in.

              Thank you
