Jan 10, 2012HA Config Sync manually
why it is Manual , is there any benefit from having it manual not automatic ?

If you for example change config on the active and muck up big time (since F5 doesnt have any commit function, all you do in the gui (and cli) is activated once you click the update-button) you could then just login to the passive unit and tell it to sync its configuration to the active unit (so the active unit gets back a working config). - Alex__Applebaum

What mikand said. Plus, people make many changes at once which could cause config thrashing if you sync'd after each change. - Colin_Walker_12Historic F5 AccountWe also very often see people perform upgrades this way. They upgrade the failover unit, test, fail-over, then upgrade the "primary" unit (which is now the failover, I suppose...).
