When you say you split the ports into groups of 4 ports on VLANs, what exactly did you mean?

1 vlan dedicated for the the two links (1 from each firewall), so that all the traffic will be sent to the vlan and then routed to other vlans? If not, can you please explain this is depth?

Simply, just VLAN the switch out so there were 4 ports available in each VLAN. These are then split across the cluster members.

I'm sorry but I still don't understand. How 4 ports? Assuming an uplink from the switch to the firewall as 2 links (1 to each firewall.)
I'm new to this.

Well, like you say, you need 2x (1x for each firewall), another for the network uplinking into those firewalls on that interface, the 4th is optional and I just use as a port for plugging into to debug/quick access to that network.
