    I ran across this thread while troubleshooting a similar issue, and I thought I would add what corrected the issue on my end. After clustering my 2, 6900s the configurations sync'd but the HA status for the peer device showed down (on both 6900s).

Still does the trick in 12.1.1. Did my lab setup by the book, but this one messed it up. So both units were active, but didn't see eachother. Changed the port lockdown on both ends to 'Allow Default' and BAM! working... Tnx!
