I believe it has something to do with synchronisation but don't know exactly. I think you can kill the services with cphastop;cphastart. Don't know exactly what version CP and OS you're running but there were some issues in the past with Nokia Clusters in HA.

Monitoring Critical Devices

When a critical device fails, the cluster member is considered to have failed.

To see the list of critical devices on a cluster member, and of all the other machines in the
cluster, run the following command on the cluster member:

cphaprob [-i[a]] [-e] list

There are a number of built-in critical devices, and the administrator can define
additional critical devices. The default critical devices are:
• The cluster interfaces on the cluster members.
• Synchronization—full synchronization completed successfully.
• Filter—the Security Policy, and whether it is loaded.
• cphad—which follows the ClusterXL process called cphamcset.
• fwd—the VPN-1 daemon.
