My organization purchased two 5220's to run in active/passive HA, but the VAR did not mention needing transceivers/cables for the HSCI ports, or the possibility of needing to use the HSCI ports for HA. I would prefer to not have to wait on a capital expenditure request to put this in production. Would we be fine using CAT6A on the 10GB ports for HA2? We are running a maximum of 60Mbps through our current firewall.

You don't need to use the HSCI port for HA 2.
You can set any interface you want, embedded copper or the SFP(+) ports, for "HA" then use that interface for your HA2 config.

Hello,
I could be wrong, but I thought the 5220 had 2x HA ports? They both should be rj45.
Is this not correct?

It does but the documentation states they are for HA1-A and HA1-B. I suppose you could mix and match and use whichever for whatever, I'm not really sure.

The two RJ-45 HA ports on a 5220 are dedicated solely for HA1 connections; they cannot be utilized for HA2.
