I would suspect that if you ever found the time you would find that the sec= ondary worked just fine if the primary wasn't online. One suggestion I wou= ld make would be to turn on server group logging on all nodes and then star= t things up properly. The logs are VERY low volume so no problems leaving = them on full time. The logs should identify when anything in the server gr= oup changes in the range of something taking over functions, heartbeat miss= es, etc. I would suspect based on the information that you have given that= the problem is related to multiple servers trying to get a lock at the sam= e time and throwing the error. I would expect the server group logs to giv= e details about this.
