high avilability config sync error

Hi there

 

 

I configured two LTM with version 11.1 and leatest hotfix installed.

 

 

 

Configured self ip's for the config sync. Everything works well (failover etc) but not config sync.

 

 

 

I do get the following message in the "Device Management ›› Device Groups : Device Group List ›› Config Sync : "

 

 

 

Status:Sync Failed

 

Summary:remote sync validation error

 

Details:[sync error on /Common/zrh-adc-b-bip02.beta.local]: Load failed from /Common/zrh-adc-b-bip01.beta.local 0107146f:3: Self-device state mirroring address cannot reference the non-existant Self IP (10.160.1.6); Create it in the /Common folder first.

 

 

 

 

Can anybody help?

    Hi BigBrother,

     

     

    I would suggest checking to make sure that your Sync-Failover VLAN is properly configured.

     

     

    It's generally a Interface (like 1.1 connected between the devices with a normal Networking Cable (the ports are Universal so it will detect the cable type and make the correct "Cross-Over" Cable adjustments to communicate correctly)) with just two IP Addresses on it. Yours believes that its Self-IP Address on that network is 10.160.1.60.

     

     

    They can be configured to Sync, Communicate Sub-Second Failovers, and I believe state mirroring across this connection.

     

     

    See this article for additional details: SOL7511: Configuring the ConfigSync, network failover, and state mirroring utilities to use separate IP addresses. The article says that you can use the Management Interface for this, but like I said earlier, I use a separate interface since I have plenty that aren't being used.

     

     

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Michael

     

     

    I did not explain my setup detailed. I use two LTM virtual instances running on V11.1HF2. So bigpipe commands are not supported anymore on that version in combination with a cluster.

     

     

    So I have to investigate more deeper :-)

     

     

    best regards
