Out of service

Good morning or evening to all.I have a domino server 8.5.1 on a Windows 2008 server.

It is clustered with Domino 7.0.2 on an AIX box.

When I try to test failover following the steps in the domino admin help, or this link

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21280021

I see all the databases are marked as “out of service” already and can’t get them to stay “in service”.

The AIX box is the main box (server A)

When I shutdown server A to test failover the users are prompted to switch to a replica on another server. Will this ever be seamless without prompting?

All DB are replicated to both servers.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
