If you manage WildFire appliance clusters with Panorama, you
can configure two Panorama M-Series
or virtual appliances as an HA pair to provide management
redundancy. If you don’t configure redundant Panorama appliances
and the Panorama fails, then you can still manage clusters locally
from a controller node.
If you are using a Panorama HA pair to manage the cluster and
one Panorama fails, the other Panorama appliance takes over management
of the cluster. If a Panorama HA peer fails, restore service from
the failed Panorama peer as soon as possible to restore management
HA.
Providing analysis, storage, and centralized management HA requires
at least two WildFire appliances configured as cluster controller
and controller backup nodes, and two Panorama M-Series or virtual
appliances.
Firewalls receive a registration list that contains all of the
WildFire appliances that are members of the cluster. Firewalls can
register with any node in the cluster and the cluster automatically
balances the load among its nodes.
