Hello All,

We are trying to stand up a couple nexus 1000v switches.  Both were deployed via an OVF template.  The primary happily accepted its role is primary.  When we set the secondary's role as secondary during the initial install it rebooted as expected, however now it just hangs at loading.  If I power the primary off the secondary will boot up.  I have verified all the vlan mappings are correct.  If I install these switches as standalone they can ping one another and their gateway.

I can't seem to sync the configs:

And finally the console messages from the primary VSM

Error in getting supervisor and internal state of other supervisor.
