Default VPN Problem - encryption failure: Unknown SPI: 0x5cf5657c

On a R65 cluster... we had our main internet link die for a for minutes, since then from SecureView Monitor I noticed there was a problem with clusterXL on one of the nodes, I therefore failed over and restarted the node. Once is was back up both nodes (running in HA) became active - which worried me, so I restarted the other node, at that point the operation of clusterXL has looked ok, one node active, one standby.

From our logs a VPN we have has been reporting the following errors..

Obviously I've been required to moved specfic information regarding our nodes.

I tired pushing a new policy, thinking the tunnel could be out of sync, since then the second node on the cluster as flagged errors again in clusterXL

cphaprob list shows...
