how to do a sync-failover on servicenow? (f5 BIG-IP)

I have active/standby pair. I can make changes to active unit using servicenow actions (f5 BIG IP actions) . But now I want to make sync to standby unit. Is it possible to do this for servicenow? Do I need to use any REST commands? Or is there an easier way to do this?

    Regarding the iControl REST method for syncing (from your active device) to HA-Group, here's the command (using curl):

    curl -sku <user>:<pass> https://<managementPort>/mgmt/tm/cm/config-sync -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"command":"run", "utilCmdArgs": "to-group HA"}'

    See also iControl REST API documentation. You can find the reference to the "run" command in the "Using the run command" section (p. 63 of the v14.1 doc).

    If you are looking for information on a non-F5 product, I believe you have a better chance of getting the answer by contacting its provider or forum. DevCentral is a forum for F5 products.
