## Symptoms

- * Output of "*cphaprob state* " command after configuring Cluster Global ID per [sk25977](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk25977) shows that status of Virtual Systems is "Active!" and "Down".

  *Example*:

  ```
  
  Virtual Devices Status on each Cluster Member
  =============================================
  
   ID    | Weight| Member1-  | Member2-  | Member3-  | Member4-
         |       | fw01      | fw02      | fw03      | fw04
         |       |           |           |           | [local]
  -------+-------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
   1     | 10    | Active!   | Down      | Down      | Down
   2     | 10    | Active!   | Down      | Down      | Down
  ... ... ...
   6     | 10    | Down      | Active!   | Down      | Down
   7     | 10    | Down      | Down      | Down      | Active!
   8     | 10    | Down      | Down      | Active!   | Down
  ```

* Output of "*cphaconf cluster_id get*" command shows:

  ```
  
  cphaconf cluster_id: WARNING: different values for cluster_id: kernel: XXX ha_boot.conf: YYY
                                please set cluster_id using the command: "cphaconf cluster_id set <value>"
  ```

## Cause

*$FW_BOOT_DIR/ha_boot.conf* file on VSX cluster member(s) contains wrong configuration (unrecognized parameters / values).

*Example*:

```
ha_installed 1
cluster_id   6
p_mode broadcast
ccp_mode broadcast
```
