problem after upgrade from 9.4.6 to 10.0.1

Hi,

 

 

i upgraded the one of my hardisk in ltm to 10.0.1 and the configuration file i have loaded is from 9.4.6. (a ucs file)i got all the configuration in 10.0.1 but failover is not working,

 

 

Presently unit 2 is active. even i switch of the unit 2, unit 1 is still standby, however sync i perfect. And when i'm saying unit2 for force to standby the unit is going standby, and unit 1 is still remain standby.

 

 

when i change the setting in the unit 1 as single unit instead of redundant pair unit1 is getting active as usual.

 

 

What must b the issue?

    Hello,

     

     

    I'm sure you've fixed this issue by now, but in caser you haven't:

     

     

    Check the settings under System>High Availability>Redundancy. Unit 1 should have the 'Redundancy State Preference' of 'Active' and unit 2 should have it set to 'Standby'.

     

     

    Also check the settings under System>High Availability>Network Failover, particularly 'Perr Management Address' and the 'Unicast' settings.

     

     

    Good luck!

    Hi Chris,

     

     

    Thanks for the info. It's worth noting that there is a bug in handling incorrect multicast network failover configuration:
