NimbostratusDevices are not synchronizing configuration to each other
Hi folks,
I´m new on Big IP and started my studies on LTM. I´ve set up two VEs running 13.1.0.5 software and I´m facing some issues in regards of synchronization of the configuration. I tried to...
I have also run into this caveat. I am running 13.1.1.4 on VMware Workstation 15 on Fedora 29 Linux kernel 5.0.4
Thanks to the help of F5 FSE, I have managed to resolve it by adding the following DB variables on each VM on WMware Workstation 15.x:
tmsh modify /sys db tm.tcplargereceiveoffload value disable
tmsh modify /sys db tm.tcpsegmentationoffload value disableIt appears that WMware loses packets when offload is enabled.

loiThank you so much Krysitan Baniak, i've tried to run 2 above commands on each VM, it worked.
Enu_MonuThanks a lot, Krystian. I have had the same issue for my VMware 12.5 lab with BIG-IP 13.1.1.4 version. The above command fixed the sync issue.

Hello DNTDS,
Not at all... I´ve removed all the configuration from the VMs, installed again, licensed again and it didn´t work as well. I also tried to use 13.1.0.6 which is not working either. It´s very strange as 13.1.0.5 was working before.
The status in VEs keep on changing from "changes pending" to "awaiting initial config" and so on, other day the traffic-group-1 was have no devices on it...
Not sure what is happening... that´s sad!

Have you tried another older version? I tried version 13.0.0.0.0.1645 and it worked.

Hi DNDTS,
Sorry for the late response. I was planning to try another version but I wasn´t sure sure in which version to pick up. I´ve installed 13.0.0.3.0.1679 which has worked fine. I´ve just spent some precious time looking for na issue that doesn´t even exist.
Thanks for the advice.
Best Regards
wsanders_233261Looks like bug 658716 as reported in 13.1.X release notes (https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/releasenotes/related/relnote-supplement-bigip-13-1-0-4.html)
We are having similar problems with 13.1.0.5 in a production system. Support said this bug was actually introduced in 13.0, so we had to downgrade to 12.X, which was a huge PITA because the config files are not downstream-portable.

This is happening on only one of two pairs of HA vCMP guests. We're leaving the other pair of guests and the hypervisor alone for now.
