Configure Firewall HA through Panorama

Hi !

How we can configure the HA between Firewall through Panorama. I have added the both devices in to single device groups. So whenever i did the HA configuration parameters it's getting applied to both devices .

What are the steps need to be followed for this ?

Thanks in Advance...

Not sure if its the correct way but the HA settings, the management IP, and the host name are the only things I do manually on each firewall rather than through panorama.

@gpsriram,

Usually HA is done before the devices actually connect to Panorama. Either manually by the admin as @dstjames stated, or during the boostrap process. Personally I always use the bootstrap process, but unless you're deploying a large number of firewalls or deploying firewalls often it might not be worth it to you to do this.

HA to the best of my knowledge is considered to be a part of the Intial Configuration process, and therefore can't be setup by Panorama.
