CirrusF5 Config Sync Issues
Hi,
I am trying to update to 11.6 from 11.3, my client has 2 3900's in a active-standby setup. I have already updated my stanby unit to 11.6 with no issues but I am unable to sync the configs because of this error:
Sync SummaryStatusSync Failed SummaryA validation error occurred while syncing to a remote device Details• Sync error on fw02: Load failed from fw01 01070710:3: Database error (13), Can't save/checkpoint DB object, class:sflow_http_virtual_data_source status:13 - EdbCfgObj.cpp, line 127. • Recommended action: Review the error message and determine corrective action on the device
I have tried this workaround but it doesn't seem to be working: https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/f5-ltm-115-sync-failed-after-applying-iapps
I would like to not have to bring the live environment down to do the upgrade.
Any help is really appreciated.

I had this problem in past more than once. It's a well known problem and there are hotfixes available to solve this problem.
I will have to restore the configuration database. Look at this Stephan Manthey's procedure from this topic. That should work, but you have first to disable the auto-sync in your device group in order to ensure that the just restored database don't overwrite automatically the cluster configuration and, of course, make a backup of your configuration. If you don't apply the hotfix you may have to repeat the procedure periodically as I had to.

Heya,
I encountered the exact same issue a couple of weeks ago (units affected are running 11.6 HF3). Support suggested forcing mcpd to reload the config as per https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/000/sol13030.html and then to apply HF4 as suggested by arpydays.

you are saying one box is on 11.3 and one on 11.6? at that stage i wouldn't even want to sync config. first upgrade both and then sync again.
Tyron_Fourie_18Thanks all.
I did manage to sort it out in the end.
- boneyardcould you explain what you did, others might learn from that.
- Tyron_Fourie_18In the end I just arranged for downtime and did the software update.
