Config Sync and Web Interface

BACKGROUND:

 

I have 2 ASM 3600 devices running in Active/Standby. I recently configured some VS/Pools/Nodes, httpclass profiles and ASM policies.

 

 

I ran a ConfigSync from the GUI. Everything looked OK except for a warning. I have a VLAN interface and static route on the active box for monitoring purposes. I do not have this VLAN/interface on the standby device.

 

 

ISSUE:

 

So config sync looks ok but when I log into the GUI for the standby unit it still have the old VS/Pools/Nodes ,etc. The new ASM polices show up in the GUI.

 

If I cat /config/bigip.conf the new information is there.

 

 

Here is my ConfigSync log. This is pulled from the Active unit – I did a Sync to Peer from the GUI.

 

 

[networkgroup@WAFNASH01:Active] log cat configsync_peer.log

The only thing I could think of is to restart the httpd service. ps is showing instances that were recently started by Apache. I did note that there is an instance from March as well.

 

 

Is my static route preventing the config load on the standby device?

 

 

What do you think?

 

 

Thanks
