I have tried to right click and reconfigure HA - it reconfigured it no errors but the error comes back in a few minutes.
Have tried it to disable HA and re-enable it.
Help
Try maintaining the hostname everywhere in lowercase. Also, try reinstalling aam and vpx components:

Restart all management agents and give it a try.
