ASA SFR - Show module shows SFR init

[arumugasamy]

In the ASA failover setup, primary>Active firewall the show module shows the SFR status. as init state not UP state.

I got the same result. after reload the SFR module #sw-module module sfr reload.

#show module

unable to read details from module sfr

status;                                            Init

Init state generally indicates that the sfr module is not fully installed. We see this most commonly when the boot image (img file) has been installed but the system image has not been (sys file). Check the sfr module console output for details.

Marvin,

The Sfr module in the standby firewall is UP and running. Shall I failover it to the active state and then re-image the firewall that is the standby FW?
