sync failover issue

​This is the scenario, all ip address are of /16 subnet mask

 

I am using vertual machines on my vmware platform, version is 11.3

 

First box configuration

 

Vertual server ip 10.10.1.100/16

 

vlan Internal 172.16.1.31/16 Floating 172.16.1.33/16 Vlan external 10.10.1.31/16 Floating 10.10.1.33/16

 

VLAN HA 1.1.1.1/16

 

Second box configuration

 

vlan Internal 172.16.2.31/16 Floating 172.16.1.33/16 Vlan external 10.10.2.31/16 Floating 10.10.1.33/16

 

VLAN HA 1.1.1.2/16

 

All steps including Ha are configured with setup utility be it creating trust, setting device group and traffic group

 

after configuring I found that ha is good because one is showing active and other is standby but below it the sync status is disconnected

 

when checked sync status from device group i found one device says "Awaiting initial sync" and other says Disconnected also on other box this is reverse

 

After checking logs i found following errors

  • Hi,

     

    Check the date and time, and try to reset the trust by generating a new trust.

     

  • Time is realy important so check the time and set NTP if you can. Also check the ConfSync IP's on each system, I would also set this to be the HA VLAN and IP addresses, this can be done under the following on both systems: Device Management, Devices, , Device Connetiviy, ConfSync

     

    Do the same for the Network Failover under: Device Management, Devices, , Device Connetiviy, Network Failover (delete all but the HA VLAN IPs)

     

    Go back and try to do the initial sync if that works you can then test network failover.
