Upgrade from R77.30 to R80.30 fwk process error

I can't push policy after this upgrade. SIC is established and communicating on the physical firewall but not the VSX hosts. If you look below, the fwk process is not starting. Has anyone seen this before?

VS 6:

[Expert@FW-DR:6]# vsx stat -v
Error: The fwk process is down for vsid 6 (Please retry when the process is back up).

VS 0:

[Expert@FW-DR:0]# vsx stat -v

VSX Gateway Status

Name: FW-DR
Access Control Policy: FW-DR_VSX

I get this error when installing policy:
Installation failed. Reason: Authentication error [ SIC error no. 147 ] check that peer SIC is configured properly and that system date and time on the Security Management Server and peer are synchronized

Open a TAC case, this should really be handled by support.

@Terry - Do you remember how it was solved? reconfiguring or TAC found root cause and fix?
