Changing HA Ports

Problem

I want to use the current NSRP HA ports for something else instead, and use different ports as my HA ports.

Solution

It is really simple in my case:

• Define the new ports as members of the HA zone
• Connect the new ports
• Let the system settle (do a get nsrp to see the port status)
• You can now unplug the old HA ports (probably one at a time and do a get nsrp to see the revised statuses) and then re-define them

Commentary

This is one of those things which sound simple but one suspects that they will end up being incredibly complicated. But it turns out in this case, the firewall does do the right thing by default.
