BigIP LTM Standby device is showing offline on the active device
We are using the BigIP LTM in HA with Active/Standby mode. Eventhough the configuration is in sync between them, the active device is showing the standby device as offline. And also the traffic group in stuck on the initializing/not Synced state for the NEXT ACTIVE DEVICE. I have tried rebooting both of the device, upgrading both the device with the latest hot fix and image(12.1.2 HF1). They are 4000 series BIG IP. Pleas let me know how do make the stand device from offline state standby state.
failed to set up cluster after upgrading from v10.2.4 to v11.4.1
Hi, we have two big-ip 11050 devices which are active - standby systems were running on v10.2.4. with the basic network configuration below: f5coolsube1.bigip internal server vlan is vlan2 - floating ip 10.23.249.45 and self ip 10.24.249.46 and external vlan is vlan1- floating ip 10.24.249.5 and self ip 10.24.246.6 management ip : 10.230.0.13 f5coolsube2.bigip internal server vlan is vlan2 - floating ip 10.23.249.45 and self ip 10.24.249.47 and external vlan is vlan1- floating ip 10.24.249.5 and self ip 10.24.246.7 management ip : 10.230.0.14 We upgraded these devices to v11.4.1 and loaded the v10.2.4 ucs with no-licence option. Now we are having problems with the setting up the cluster. First we couldn't add each device as peer to other device and we got ltm logs : Jun 18 07:29:44 f5coolsube1 mcpd[6447]: 0107157a:3: Only the self device can be moved.

Then we reseted the device trust status and it seemed like peers added to each other but we got below logs and the devices went to the disconnect state.
