device-group does not sync config completely after creating objects via REST API

Hi guys,   I'm currently experiencing a strange phenomenon. We'll need to create lots of "Contexts" on vCMP guests. A cntext consists of an admin partition, route domain, traffic-group and objects...

Hi,

 

This is related to fact that your floating objects on Active are referencing objects local to Active (selfIPs, RDs, VLANs etc.) because of that sync can be performed - those are not present on Standby.

 

Do so small experiment, create manually VLAN (or RD) on Active - you will notice that status will be still in Sync. That is OK as far as you will not create any other floating object using this VLAN (like floating IP), then your sync will fail (as far as I remember from my tests).

 

So only solution is to create all the local objects on both Active and Standby and then create all floating on Active. That way sync will not fail.
