SRX 240 cluster: impossible to make it on

[nextira1]

Hi everybody,

I have to make a SRX 240 cluster running on Junos v.10.4R4. 

Every documents that i found about this say  1st Step: enable cluster with: set chassis cluster cluster id <> node <> reboot

and after the FW reboot, i cant see "primary" or "secondary" my both nodes are in HOLD mode, they cant see each other, the control links are down the fabric links are down..

So i tried to delete ethernet switching by doing following commands (founded on juniper technical doc):

user@host# delete vlans

user@host# delete interfaces vlan

user@host# delete interfaces interface-range interfaces-trust

user@host# delete security zones security-zone trust interfaces

user@host# commit

this was not working i had the following errors:

[edit security zones security-zone trust]
'interfaces vlan.0'
Interface vlan.0 must be configured under interfaces
error: Interface <ge-0/0/10.0> vlan member <vlan-trust> undefined
error: configuration check-out failed

I tried all the steps about troubleshooting why control link is down, fab link is down...

When i do "show chassis cluster status" i get :

root> show chassis cluster status
Cluster ID: 1
Node  Priority  Status    Preempt     Manual failover

Redundancy group: 0 , Failover count: 0

node0      1         hold          no            no
node1       0         lost         n/a            n/a

My cabling is the same as described in the Juniper technical doc...

I really dont know why this first step is not working...

There is somebody who can help me about this trouble please ?

thank you in advance

As you know There are 3 ports to be iused for HA , 2 of them should be specific ports ( fxp0 & control port )

make sure that those 2 specific ports doesnot have any configuration associated with them ( like zones , ...... )

Dear,

For HA configuration check the following KB

http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB15504

it contain steps and troubleshooting steps also I hope it will be useful for you.

Also if you are using any device link L2 SW between the two boxes, try to connect it direct as sometimes it cause problems.

maybe you should clear up: 

did you actually remove vlan.0 from the trust zone? :-)

Post the output of "show chassis cluster information detail"

Note: it is a hidden command so you have to completely type it.

When issues pop up with starting clusters, I've found it best to start the cluster from a blank configuration.

1. Turn off clustering on node 0 " set chassis cluster disable"
2. Turn off clustering on node 1 " set chassis cluster disable"
3. Log into node 0
4. Delete the configuration
5. Set the root password
6. Copy this configuration
7. Log into node 1
8. Delete the config
9. paste the config from node 0
10. Turn on clustering on node 0 " set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 0"
11. Turn on clustering on node 1 " set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 1"
12. Verify the cluster comes up "show chassis cluster status"
13. Configure like normal
