ASA multiple context failover monitor failed

Hi, 

I have 2 ASAs 5585 boxes with identical images: asa963-1-smp-k8.bin

I have 2 contexts:

but when I run the show failover command, it shows the following: 

I see some of them say waiting and not monitored

The failover I think is working, have not tried yet, since the statistic say that is up, but why some 

the admin context I have applied the following:

monitor-interface ADMIN-OUT
monitor-interface ADMIN-IN

but the output above shows one CCtx1 is monitored and the other not, but I even havent put the command

the config for the failover is 

ASA1

failover
failover lan unit primary
failover lan interface failover GigabitEthernet0/3
failover link failover GigabitEthernet0/3
failover interface ip failover 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252 standby 10.10.10.2

ASA2

failover
failover lan unit secondary
failover lan interface failover GigabitEthernet0/3
failover link failover GigabitEthernet0/3
failover interface ip failover 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252 standby 10.10.10.2

Is there something that Im missing?

Hi,

I think the issue is the Admin-IN link on the secondary device which is showing Link down status.

Can you please check the link connectivity and see why it is showing down?

Alternatively, you can try using the command:

no monitor-interface ADMIN-IN

This would bring the failover status as up

Aditya
