Symptom
High Availability not working
Error code MismatchingResourceName on Azure logs
Message:
The provided resource name 'xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-eth0' did not match the name in the Url 'xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-eth2
Environment
PA-VM Azure Cloud
Cause
In Azure environment we can see the interfaces are assigned and listed in the incorrect order.
For example: ethernet1/3, ethernet1/2, and then ethernet1/1
Resolution
- Power down the FW.
- Detach the interfaces on Azure.
- Powered on again and verified all the interfaces references were removed.
- Power down, attach the interfaces again and Power up again.
- After that we should see everything was fine with the HA interfaces and the Azure will not show the error again.
