HA getting started

[trevs]

New to HA with opnsense so learning. Used AI to help with some, but obviously that leaves things out.
I have gone over the documentation, and apparently am still missing something.
On my primary OPNsense I see the attached screen. Does this indicate that the backup is not ACTUALLY in "backup mode" since all the services appear to be running?

That's fine. The services will be running so in case of a CARP failover they are available instantly.

Thanks! I continue on my journey then.
