      Hi to all,

      I had a problem when I did the upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.1. My failover group for DHCP doesn't work.
      In the primary (2.0.3)  I have this situation:

      Failover Group                     My State                     Since                       Peer State        Since
      "dhcp0"           communications-interrupted       XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX             normal       XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

      and in the secodary (2.1) I have this situation:
      Failover Group                           My State       Since             Peer State                 Since
        dhcp_opt3 (INTERNAL_LAN)     recover XXXXXXXXXX unknown-state XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

      If the primary fails, the secondary does't work.
      Also when I have upgrade the system the LDAP server have been deleted.

      Both FW are VM on ESXi.

      Regards.

        The log on the primary report: dhcpd:
        Failover CONNECT to dhcp0 rejected: Connection rejected, invalid failover partner.

        The log on the secondary reports:
        dhcpd: failover: disconnect: unknown failover relationship name
        dhcpd: Failover CONNECT from dhcp0: unknown failover relationship name
        dhcpd: failover: link startup timeout

          The versions must match for DHCP failover to work. Upgrade the primary and it will go back to normal.

            But now also the primary is in recover/unknown-state and not assigns me the lease…. ?!?!?!?!?!?
