Hey, it’s HA more in the sense of if one Fmc blows up you still have the other one. Not like with the firewalls themselves when they do automatic failover.

It also written in the FMC admin guide: „ Active/Standby high availability lets you configure a secondary FMC to take over the functionality of a primary FMC if the primary fails. When the primary FMC fails, you must promote the secondary FMC to become the active unit.“

You right. If primary fails you have to promote secondary to be active. But fmc is just the controller right?…
