F5 HA Setup

File attached .

Since these boxes are in lab for setting them up and no NTP server connected at this stage

Hi Korai,

To solve this, force the operating system time on BIG-IP orbit.com-2

Check how to do this here https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K3381.

There must be no gap between the two members of the cluster

Not working as I tried through GUI and also through CLI. If I do manual time setup on each box then there will be a few seconds still difference and I cant sync both F5 nodes.

oot@(www)(cfg-sync In Sync (Trust Domain Only))(Peer Time Out of Sync)(/Common)(tmos)# modify /sys ntp timezone /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Pacific/Auckland

01070920:3: Application error for confpp: /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Pacific/Auckland is not a valid time zone.

Restarting ntpd (via systemctl): [ OK ]

root@(www)(cfg-sync In Sync (Trust Domain Only))(Peer Time Out of Sync)(/Common)(tmos)#

Getting below error

System Times of Devices Do Not Match

One or more system times of the devices in the device trust do not match the system time of the local device. Auto or manual device group sync operations may fail.

Verify that the NTP Settings on all devices are properly configured and that the system times are equal.

• /Common/www.orbit.com is 1111 seconds ahead

maybe try to launch command touch /service/mcpd/forceload and reboot the BIG-IP to force the mcpd process to reload the configuration

thanks , I was able to sync F5 after setting manual time through CLI

You're welcome ;)
