ISSUE:   In a multiple VERDE server environment (multi CM candidates), if the servers are started and/or upgraded in any given order the VERDE system may not be properly configured.  This occurs when the  servers are are competing to become the cluster master. 

Solution  

To avoid this situation, always start the designated cluster master server first and ensure the CM is fully up and running by logging into the Management Console. At that point you can begin to install the next server in sequence.
