Gaia - CPHA - Failover Monitoring - Cluster Member is Down

[ESpataro]

Can someone help with the below please , Interface seems up to me but not sure what the Outbound : Down means ?

[Bob_Zimmerman]

"Inbound: UP" means it is receiving CCP packets from another member of the cluster. "Outbound: DOWN" means the CCP packets from the other cluster member don't include acknowledgement of the CCP packets this member is sending. A lot of things could cause this.

Network probing is failing on eth1. Check cabling and adjacent network devices for errors, check interfaces for speed/duplex settings to be correct.

Thanks Val, it is likely to cause any sort of failover if we start checking the cables and it's a faulty , wouldn't want it to cause an outage ? 

Speed and duplex setting set to auto , so should be fine

Yes, unplugging cables should cause a failover. best to do it during a maintenance window.  I would also advise rebooting both members and pushing policy during the window.
