Yeah, I saw that when I upgraded our 6400's to 10.2.3 and later 10.2.3HF1.

 

 

Was annoying, because I was upgrading the standby, and didn't notice that it was active while I was still working on getting the upgrade configs working on it. (had upgraded from 9.3.1, so got bit by change in behavior of HTTP monitors and the smbclient monitor being broken.) So, services were down...even though they weren't.

 

 

Made the mistake of thinking I could upgrade the standby ahead of the scheduled maintenance window with no disruption.

 

 

Wonder if that's the sod fix that is in 10.2.4?

 

 

When I upgraded from 9.3.1 to 10.2.3....the 10.2.3 took over when it shouldn't have. But, when I was upgrading to 10.2.3HF1...I ended up with an active/active situation, and had to force one out.
