    Dear Juniper Communit,
    I`m facing a really strange issue with SRX 1500 cluster, the node is directly connected and no switch in between. it seems that the two nodes lost communication between each other. the primary node seems to not being able to become the master and the secondary node when it becomes the master, its not being able to route anything. all the services  like bgp and ipsec vpn are currently down .even when i force the primary node to take over the mastership by executing "request chassis cluster failover redundancy-group 0 node 0 force"still nothing works and no traffic is being processed.
    After checking, i noticed that the received probe packet  in Fabric link is always 0 no mater what troubleshoot i did and "show chassis cluster interfaces" is always showing interface fab0 is down although it is physically up. I even used this hidden command "set chassis cluster no-fabric-monitoring" and rebooted node0 but still exactly the same:

    Software version:
    JUNOS Software Release [15.1X49-D180.2]

    Below is cluster configuration ( i deactivated the interface monitor to troubleshoot further):

    @sn-dx-node0>show configuration chassis cluster 

    no-fabric-monitoring;

    reth-count 128;

    redundancy-group 0 {

        node 0 priority 100;

        node 1 priority 1;

    }

    redundancy-group 1 {

        node 0 priority 100;

        node 1 priority 1;

        inactive: interface-monitor {

            xe-0/0/16 weight 255;

            xe-7/0/16 weight 255;

        }

    }

    redundancy-group 2 {

        node 0 priority 100;

        node 1 priority 1;

        inactive: interface-monitor {

            ge-0/0/12 weight 255;

            ge-7/0/12 weight 255;

        }

    }

    and below is most of the show chassis cluster outputs after i manually forced failover to node 0:

    @sn-dx-node0> show chassis cluster status

    Troubleshoot actions done so far:

    • Rebooting both devices several times 
    • Rebooting a single device.
    • Performing a "set chassis cluster no-fabric-monitoring" then reboot node 0 
    • Performing "request chassis cluster failover redundancy-group 0 node 0 force" 
    • Logging onto the secondary and performing a "request chassis cluster configuration-synchronize"
    • Changing the physical cable to a different port and moving the configuration.
    • Swapping the physical cable completely with a new one.

    Please help me as im really running out of options :( 
    Thank you in advance
