Hello,
We have two PIX515E(failover via serial cable). Ever since we physically relocated the two firewalls, it's been failing over to secondary then back to primary. It happened three times within a span of three months. I verified that there was no trend in the timing of the failover, it just happens sporatically. We do not have Syslog setup yet, so I do not have any logs to attach.
This is what i get with the "sh failover" command:

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why this is happening.
Thanks,
