If you achieve your goal (and it can be done) will the object IPs for VSs, Pool Members etc. be valid and work at the backup site anyway?
JnonIs your objective to just have a backup of the ucs to restore a system? If so you could just pull a copy of the daily ucs file to a remote server or ltm.
player_72606the standalone corresponds to the active machine - node1 in the pair,
is there a way to automate this config sync via management interface , as the interfaces of the standalone are administratively down as it is a copy of one the active member.- What_Lies_Bene1Unfortunately you cannot use ConfigSync over the management interface. I'd suggest in order of preference, you;
1) Create a ConfigSync only VLAN etc. that you can enable on the standalone and use for this
2) Use some shell scripts or similar and cron to create a UCS archive of one or both of the other devices and copy it to the standalone on a regular basis and then manually install it when required, or on a regular basis if you'd prefer using cron - What_Lies_Bene1Or you could use a Device Service Cluster with three 'live' devices?
