## Symptoms

- * During a failover event, the cluster fails to complete an API request. As a result, the cluster cannot detect topology changes or move IP addresses between instances.
* The `$FWDIR/log/oracle_had.elg` file on the active cluster member shows the following:

  ```
  
      File "/opt/CPsuite-R81.20/fw1/scripts/oci.py", line 265, in https_request
      headers['proto'], headers['code'], headers['reason'], response)
      TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'body'
  ```

## Cause

When the API request fails, the script attempts to raise an exception. However, the exception call is missing a required argument (`body`).

The error interrupts the reconfiguration cycle. As a result, the cluster cannot detect topology changes or move IP addresses between instances during a failover.
