An administrator is issuing the following command on a node trying to join a FortiSOAR...

When joining a FortiSOAR cluster as a standby node, the correct status value should be passive. Using active would imply that the node is trying to join as an active node, which could cause conflicts in the cluster setup. In FortiSOAR, standby nodes must be set as passive to ensure they are recognized correctly and to avoid conflicts with the primary node or other active nodes within the cluster. Therefore, setting the status to passive will resolve the issue and allow the node to join the cluster as intended​.
