## Symptoms

- * After reboot of VSX Cluster Member, output of "*cphaprob state*" command shows that Virtual Systems are "Down".

* Output of "*cphaprob -i list*" command shows:

  *

    ```
    
    Device Name: fwd
    Current state: problem
    Process Status: NOT UP
    ```

  *

    ```
    
    Device Name: cphad
    Current state: problem
    Process Status: NOT UP
    ```

* Outputs of "*cpwd_admin list* " command and of "*ps auxw*" command show that FWD daemon is running in the context of all Virtual Systems.

  *Example*:

  ```
  
  [Expert@HostName:0]# cpwd_admin list | grep -E "STAT|FWD"
  APP        CTX        PID    STAT  #START  START_TIME             MON  COMMAND
  FWD        1          21659  E     1       [19:13:09] 16/9/2015   N    fwd
  FWD        2          21670  E     1       [19:13:09] 16/9/2015   N    fwd
  ```

* Output of "*ps auxw*" command shows that CPHAMCSET daemon is running in the context of all Virtual Systems.

* Restarting the Check Point services with "*cpstop ; cpstart*" commands resolves the issue.
