I'm having some trouble with cluster XL, I been trying to set up a cluster
but I been having problems with the synchronization. If I use each module
alone everything works ok, If I use both the are some inestability in my
network, the modules stop forwarding traffic for a little while, the
everything back to normal, some applications are not working fine. I've been
looking for errors and I get this 

this error on the messages, a lot, sometimes every ten minutes, sometimes
less. 

Jul 19 05:00:40 fwph2 kernel: FW-1: State synchronization is in risk. Please
examine your synchronization network to avoid further problems !
Jul 19 05:00:40 fwph2 kernel: FW-1: It is recommended to set the global
parameter fw_sync_block_new_conns to 0
Jul 19 05:00:40 fwph2 kernel: FW-1: Please refer to documentation for
details on this issue. Any change must be applied to ALL cluster members
Jul 19 05:00:40 fwph2 kernel: FW-1: fwldbcast_recv: delta sync connection
with member 0 was lost and regained.587 updates were lost.
Jul 19 05:00:40 fwph2 kernel: FW-1: fwldbcast_recv: received sequence
0x69c82 (fragm 0, index 1), last processed seq 0x69a36

Does anybody has any idea why is this happening? Or how to correct this?

My configuration is two modules with SPLAT R55 HFA04, the synchronization
network is through a switch.
I'm using only HA.

Subject: Re: [FW-1] Cluster XL Problem

I just implemented the recommended Cisco configuration information on my
Cisco Swtiches and now I can do Load Sharing Multicast in my cluster.

(See pages 37 and 38 of the NG-AI, R55 ClusterXL Configuration Guide - June
2003).

Mind you, I'm running NG-AI, R55, HFA_R55_15

Thank you all for your assistance
