We have a client who has some problems with it... First: the configuration: master E150 with Solaris2.6 + latest patches + vfr3.0.1. slave E450 with Solaris8 + latest patches + vfr3.0.1. The problem: After a sync (both members are in SYNC with the vfrc -v /data command) the people begin to work with there application but at a certain moment vfr puts the slave in DOWN mode with sometimes different messages. If someone could help us, that would be appriciated...
