Not All Devices Synced message showing when the have sync'd

My production loadbalancers have got into a state where they will config sync, but the message at the top shows that the pair have not sync'd. The LTM log file confirms that they have sync'd also.

 

Is there somewhere this message is pulled from that hasn't updated?

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Thanks Anthony

    Anthony,

     

    Have you seen this f5 SOL? sol14586

     

    Alternatively, if you were only ever syncing from device a to device b, for example, I'd try syncing from device b to device a and see if that makes a difference.

     

    Hope this helps,

  • Thanks for the link Nathan. Thats quite similar, apart from we haven't rebooted. We had some network slowness earlier which meant that we couldn't log into the active LTM, so we made a change in the Standby LTM and sync'd that way. It seems after that it won't come back into sync.

     

    At the moment we're unable to update to 11.2.1 HF8 due to being on 3600's, so it looks like it will have to wait until we upgrade to get the full solution. I'll keep plugging away at it as I'm sure I've got round this before though.

     

    Regards, Anthony

     

  • Nitas, I wasn't aware of such a command. Having just run it, this is my output:

    -bash-3.2 tmsh show cm sync-status
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CM::Sync Status
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              - /Common/LTM_B did not receive the last sync successfully
              - Recommended action: Synchronize /Common/LTM_A to group /Common/device_trust_group
    
  • Bit more info:

     

    I've tried running manual sync's to and from the 'device_trust_group' and the 'device-group-failover-1d06072bc422', but the status isn't changing. Whats odd is that changes are being sync'd in the network map/iRules etc.

     

  • Nitass, is there anyway to list the current sync leader?

     

  • is there anyway to list the current sync leader?

     

    no, it is one-time operation (i.e. setting will be cleared automatically).

     

  • Ah ok, I'll give that a run then and see how I get on. Failing this I'll be restarting them both as a last resort.

     

  • Brilliant!! Both LTM's now showing In Sync!

     

    Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

     

    All the best, Anthony
