Issue the "write standby" command on the active unit, this will force the entire configuration to memory on the standby unit.

Have you configured firewall with your failover IP addresses?

failover ip address outside a.b.c.d

failover ip address inside m.n.o.p

failover ip address off w.x.y.z

No the commande that i have used for activate FAILOVER are:

failover on

write standby

write memory

NB: 2 pix are configured as PASSIF/ ACTIF using Failover cable,

i do that but the same warnning appears aftres ~3 minutes

You need to issue your failover ip addresses. This document explains more about failover and what is required to configure it:
