In this situation the VTP server switches will not share information. One of
the server switches will propagate the VLAN information that it knows to the
other switch and overwrite the database even if the other switch is a
server. In this case you could have set VLAN 10 and 11 on both switches then
when the trunk came up one of the VTP server switches would overwrite the
other one and this would not matter because the database would be the same
afterward.

That is the issue. All ports on S1 were assigned to VLAN 10 and all
ports on S2 were assigned to VLAN 11. So I had to do something to make
S1 aware of VLAN 11 and S2 aware of VLAN 10. So that is why I configured
each switch in the server mode so that they would tell each other about
the VLAN which the other was not aware of.
Thanks.
