Hi,

I have recently confgured my AIP-SSM-40 module in my firewalls which are configured in HA(Active/Standby).It was working fine.Then i upgraded the image version to  IPS, 7.0(2)E3.

It was working fine for a week.Then i found that the secondary firewall was in Secondary failed state.My AIP-SSM in the secondary firewall is not responding.

I could not login the AIP-SSM with session 1 command.Show module command shows

at the end of the show failover command shows

slot 1: ASA-SSM-40 hw/sw rev (1.0/) status (Unresponsive/Up)

I suspect SSM module is having the issue.Is there any way to recover.
