You'll need to floppy boot to the 1-5 menu (either using actual floppies or the PROM trick).
Enter 5 to go into Maint. mode. Then from maint. mode you can rc_toggle_basic and use the vol rewrite_fsid command.
toaster*> vol rewrite_fsid <vol_name>
You only need to do this on 1 of the filers, but the cluster will have to be disabled while you do it. You can re-enable cf once both filers are up in normal mode.
As stated before, feel free to call NetApp Support and have them walk you through the process.
Hope this helps.

According to the /etc/messages.. your root volume has the same FSID as another volume. This is why it could not do a takeover.
There is an rc_toggle_basic command that will give you a new FSID.. BUT it is the a good ideal to open a case with Network Appliance Tech Support. They can tell the complete step by step process you need to do inorder to fix your problem. If I remember correctly I think you will need to do a reboot..so you might want to look at when your next downtime is available.
