Bothsides:
firware version:7.512
AES-256
 RSA key

I configured on the astaro city one(HQ)site-to-site VPN and the other City(our branch-1) too. They nearly one year worked witout Problem But sudennly something happend and stop connection between HQ and OUR BRANCH-1. 2 weeks ago both sites started sometimes lose connections .NOW NO MORE CONNECTIONS ANY MORE.

when lose connections then i look HQ astaro admin page->site-to-site VPN

Ah, da is' ja der Apollo wieder ...

Looks like something in Phase 2 goes wrong. The SA Delete notif might come some time after the tunnel started negotiation - then the lifetimes are not the same on each side. If it comes shortly after initiation of the connection, one or more of the encryption/hash/DH settings, or Proxy IDs, are different.
If you do not have more in your logs, you should watch if the tunnel is up for more than one or two minutes after you re-initiate it. And you should have the log of the other site, of course.
By all means you should try to increase the log level, to get anything useful for troubleshooting. Usually you have to watch both sites to get a picture.

That log is just talking about the boot process. No hint to info in regard of establishing a connection.

It is always a good idea to have a fallback remote access method, like TeamViewer or direct RDP, in case the VPN does not come up.

Anyway, if you try to initiate traffic from HQ to Branch-1, e.g. by pinging a remote IP, you should see something more in the logs. I'm certain strongSwan supports log levels to provide more detail, but I have no knowledge about that Open Source IPSec VPN software, and any Astaro-specific implementation of it.

Is the both sides must be  the same firmware? Because my is not.After updated firmware on the HQ side then lost connections.

Usually a Firmware upgrade should not lead to communication issues - but that depends on whether there have been wiped out some inconsistencies leading to vulnerability, or something similar. Making both Astaro having the same Firmware would be my first approach in this case.

The other stuff doesn't tell anything more.

Thanks for accepting, but strictly seen, it is too early to do that, as the issue is not resolved yet. I'll continue to monitor this thread, and am able to reopen it if needed. Please post back whether the Firmware upgrade worked out for you.
