How do I verify chassis cluster nodes are configured and up on SRX?

Symptoms

Verify Chassis Cluster (JSRP)

Solution

Run the following command on either node to verify that the Chassis Cluster is enabled:

show chassis cluster status

What output do you see?

C hassis cluster is not enabled - Consult KB15650 [juniper.net]
Cluster and Redundancy Group information - Continue with Step 2.

Do you see node0 and node1 listed under Redundancy Group 0?

Yes - Continue with Step 3.
No - Go to Step 5.

For each Redundancy Group, what is the Status?

One node is Primary AND one node is Secondary - Continue with Step 4.
One of the nodes is Disabled - Consult KB15421 - Secondary node of a Chassis Cluster is in 'Disabled' state; how do you find the cause [juniper.net] .
Other - Jump to Step 7.

step4 What is the priority of each node?

0 - Consult KB16869 [juniper.net] .
255 - Consult KB16870 [juniper.net] .
1 - 254 - If both nodes have a priority other than 0 or 255, i.e. if the priority listed for each node is the priority specified in the configuration, then the cluster status is in a healthy state. We recommend testing the failover condition. Refer to the Understanding Failover section of Technical Documentation.

step5 Are both devices the same Hardware, AND are both devices running the same JUNOS Software Release?

Yes - Continue with Step 5.
No - Consult: KB16141 - Minimum hardware and software requirements for a Chassis Cluster (JSRP) [juniper.net] .

Is the 'Cluster ID' the same on each device? To check, run the following command on each node:

show chassis cluster status

Yes - Continue with Step 7.
No - The Cluster IDs must be the same. - Consult KB15650 [juniper.net]

If you need additional assistance, collect the following:

show chassis cluster status show chassis cluster statistics show chassis cluster information show log jsrpd show log messages show log chassisd request support information

and Contact Support to open a case.
