Add KB for Error Message "HA could not be enabled" in HA Setup

Problem:

While configure the Primary Device in HA (active-passiv) you will get the non descritive Error "HA could not be enabled" if the HA Link is not up or the Peer Device is not reachable.

What To Do:

- Verify HA Interface Link is UP and Peer Device is reachable

Thank you for your confirmation, philbert.

I am confirming with a colleague if we just need to update our documentation and include a note about the error instead of creating an article about it.

I'll inform you once I have the reply.

I've used "Interactive mode".

yes, I followed the steps, but they do not explicitly state the HA Link has to be UP and Peer Device must be reachable.

Thank you for this feedback, philbert,

Did you configure your primary device via QuickHA or via the interactive mode? Did you also follow the steps in docs.sophos.com/.../index.html
