I am having an issue setting up failover between two PIX 515E units. My primary unit has an UR license and the secondary unit has a FO only license. I am not performing stateful failover and I am using the PIX failover cable between the two units.
My primary pix has an internal IP of 192.168.1.1 / 16.
Here are the commands I used to attempt setting up failover: On the failover unit I erased the current config with the write erase command. I then powered off my failover unit and cabled the two appropriately.
On the Primary unit I entered the folowing commands: failover ip address outside xx.xx.xx.81 failover ip address inside 192.168.1.5 failover active write mem
I received the following error: WARNING: unable to add route to OSPF RIB
Here is the output of the show ver command on both units:

If anyone can pinpoint where I went wrong I would greatly appreciate it!
