This is probably an old HA bug. If you have a user one the primary but not on the secondary, and start a session using the primary, vsmserver on the secondary will give a traceback: 2009-05-07 13:32:47 DEBUG vsmserver: Handling connection from ('10.47.3.166', 1023) 2009-05-07 13:32:47 DEBUG2 vsmserver: Handling method sessionchange 2009-05-07 13:32:47 DEBUG vsmserver.HA: Handling session change (new, astrand/tlha-primary.lkpg.cendio.se:2) 2009-05-07 13:32:47 DEBUG vsmserver.HA: Got (new,astrand) from other node.
