How to identify the difference in the Act/Stdby Configuration on the vCMP guest

Dear F5 Experts.

 

I need help with identifying the differences between the Active and Standby vCMP guest, Someone accidentally made some changes on the Standby guest, Now I am adding configs to the Active guest and when I try to sync, I see this message

 

"One or more devices has a more recent configuration that the selected device,To overwrite the more recent configuration, you must use the Overwrite Configuration option"

 

Can somebody help me how to identify the differences so that I am not overwriting.

 

Thanks Balaji

    You can compare both device file with size, audit log, etc(ls -l bigip.conf).

    Other option is to compare both device file via unix command.

        comm -13 <(sort file1) <(sort file2) > file3

    or

        grep -Fxvf file1 file2 > file3

    or

        diff file1 file2 | grep "<" | sed 's/^ file3
