Hi,

I have experiensed failover failure on the new instalation of pair of
ASA 5510 7.2(2). I use multi context mode but actualy in Active/
Standby mode. Only the reason fro multi context is the preemtion
option only supported in multiple mode.
The problem is that after restart of the primary/activ box it fall in
to state "failover off" or "could standby".
Only recovery procedure to get the failover up and running is switch
off the secondary box, restart the primary and finaly switch on the
secondary again.
This behavior was seen only when restarting the active. If I simulate
other failure e.g. interface disconnect it works fine.

Can someone advise if:
1. Configuration with single failover group is valid ?
2. If someone experienced similar behavior. Or have any idea.

See the failover configuration:
failover
failover lan unit primary
failover lan interface failover Ethernet0/3
failover polltime unit 2 holdtime 10
failover key *****
failover link failover Ethernet0/3
failover interface ip failover 192.168.254.1 255.255.255.252 standby
192.168.254.2
failover group 1
preempt
polltime interface 2 holdtime 10

Thanks for any ideas.
Regards
Roman
