Hi Ossar,

there used to be a configuration option in TMOS v10.

The DB key was "Config.Encryption". Values as described by Piotr (+1): 
[Config.Encryption]  
default=on_request  
type=enum  
realm=common  
enum=|on|on_request|off|  
display_name=Config.Encryption

It seems to be converted in v11 and maybe you can revert this setting.

Would you please try a "tmsh list sys db configsync.password" on one of your working units and on the device with the passphrase issue.

Any difference?

You can try to reset to default: 
tmsh modify sys db configsync.password value unused  
tmsh save sys config

Thanks, Stephan
