I have two PIX-515Es that I have configured for Lan based failover. I do not
have the serial cable connected between them when I do "show failover" I get:

pix1# show failover
Failover On
Cable status: My side not connected
Failover unit Secondary

I do not want to use serial based failover and have no idea how to get rid of
this. Show I re-image the devices?

I have LAN based failover configured of both PIX devices.
