Self fixed.

 

  1. Device Groups >(device group previously setup) put both boxes back to available.
  2. Delete the existing device group.
  3. Reset Device Trust. Choose Generate New Self-Signed Authority.
  4. REBOOT THE VE!!!!!!
  5. Device Trust>Peer list. Establish peering. (It is able to see peer no problem.)
  6. Create device groups. "test-sync-failover". Put both devices in "includes". and check Network Failover.
  7. Confirm both devices are in the Device List area.
  8. Overview>(click self device)>choose "Sync Device to Group">Choose "Overwrite Configuration">Sync

    Thanks, this worked for me. I'm not sure why but I bump into this problem almost everytime I create a cluster...

    Worked for me too. And the same as rouanon it is a fight every time I set these up in an HA pair. Now I just call TAC and let them do it.

    You are a god amongst men. Saved my hide with your steps to resurrect a HA pair. Thank you!
