    Auto config sync is only available for Sync-Only groups, so there is no concept of the 'active' device, and in addition this happens when a change is made to any group members

     

    For failover/sync groups I think you can manually initiate config-sync from any of the devices (doesn't have to be active).

Those commands work on physical LTM's, but not on the management interface of an LTM provisioned in a Viprion. I am not sure if that was clear in my original post.

 

Get this on physical box when I curl for failover status: {"kind":"tm:cm:failover-status:failover-statusstats","selfLink":"","entries":{"":{"nestedStats":{"entries":{"color":{"description":"green"},"":{"nestedStats":{"entries":{"":{"nestedStats":{"entries":{"details":{"description":"active for /Common/traffic-group-1"}}}}}}},"status":{"description":"ACTIVE"},"summary":{"description":"1/1 active"}}}}}}

 

Get nothing on ltm provisioned on viprion when I curl for failover status or traffic group
