We are facing an issue installing R81.20 JHF Take 8 on a Quantum Maestro VSX environment. This is a Dual-Site, Single Orchestrator with 3x CPAP-SG6600 on Site 1 and 2x CPAP-SG6500 on Site 2. When installing Take 8 on Site 2, neither of the two members is coming back as active. They go into an endless loop of detached, INIT, down, lost.

According to reboot.elg:
Thu Mar 30 23:53:50 CEST 2023 Reason: reboot_with_log : Rebooting local SGM (failed to clone configuration from SMO or XFER reboot) Type: configuration

And configuration_reboot_reason.elg:
[Thu Mar 30 23:52:56 CEST 2023] /opt/CPsuite-R81.20/fw1/CTX/CTX00002/conf/pep_conciliation_scores.C

This keeps on looping on all members where Take 8 is installed.

It's seemingly impossible to get Take 8 installed on this environment. When checking this "/opt/CPsuite-R81.20/fw1/CTX/CTX00002/conf/pep_conciliation_scores.C" file on members not running Take 8 it's identical. So I have no idea why it keeps on complaining and rebooting as a result of this file if I understand the logs correctly.

On regular HA and non-VSX Maestro environments, we are running into a lot of complaints related to PrioQ:

kernel:[fw4_0];fwmultik_prio_handle_gconn_lookup: failed getting instance section from connection 44.230.54.185(8443) -> 77.106.165.224(10000) IPP 6 instance 25

@RamGuy239   Looks like JHF 10 may fix your issue.
