ASA5540s failover automatically switchover issue (Ac/Standby)

[edisonwong]

Hello Pro,

I have two asa5540 configured in standard Ac/Standby failover mode, but often switchover automaticlly. Probably in 30 minutes switchover to secondary asa5540 up. when I manually switchover back to primary asa5540 by issing failover active. I get the following errors:

Beijing-ASA5540-A# failover active

vPif_getVpif: bad vPifNum(0xffffffff) from 88592C1 from 84BBBAD

vPif_getVpif: bad vPifNum(0xffffffff) from 88592C1 from 84BBBAD

vPif_getVpif: bad vPifNum(0xffffffff) from 88592C1 from 84BBBAD

Switching to Active

vPif_getVpif: bad vPifNum(0xffffffff) from 88592C1 from 84BBBAD

vPif_getVpif: bad vPifNum(0xffffffff) from 88592C1 from 84BBBAD

vPif_getVpif: bad vPifNum(0xffffffff) from 88592C1 from 84BBBAD

Could you tell this is related to a hardware issue or software issue, and how do I eradicate it ? Thank you very much
