currently all contexts are on group1 & its active & Group2 is in BulkSync mode

but from last 2 days the failover for group 2 is happning, i am not able to find anything in logs. Its happing daily from 2 days.

Can anyone help me to troubleshoot this issue?

Hi All,

Can anyone please help me out.

Hi,

If you can make no failover at both.

Be sure of the failover interface, then failover again.

Sometimes even you need to reload, then do the failover.
