In an active-passive pair, steps can be taken to ensure that the firewall has a succesful failover if work needs to be carried out on the active firewall.
Under Device > High Availability, ensure the pre-emptive box for the firewall you are going to suspend is unticked. Changes to this checkbox will need to commited to the firewall.
Once commited, go to Device > High Avilability > Operational Commands > Suspend Local Device on the active firewall that needs to be suspended.
