vCMP Guests - Traffic Group shows "Initializing / Not Synced"

Folks,   I have two vCMP guests on a Viprion blade that were on 11.3 HF5 with no issues but as of a few minutes ago are now on 11.3 HF9. The configs have synced across peers - I have pretty green...

    Hi Timothy,

     

    Please check below site: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/900/sol13946.html

     

    Above site link will have good info which could be found for configsync DSC issues... I had seen similar issue on Viprion chassis.,but resolved after reboot of vCMPs..

     

    But the above link will provide more information specific to mcpd service.. link on core system services info: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos_management_guide_10_1/tmos_appendix_c_system_services.html

Ok. Never really heard back from F=5 on this, but I have managed to fix the issue.

 

As best as I can tell, this is what did it.

 

First, set the management ip as the Network failover address on each server, in addition to any other ips.

 

Second, reboot whichever LTM is refusing to see the other member as an active member of the HA order.

 

Each time I've done this, the primary has come back and accepted its role as the new Standby.

 

IF this still does not work--destroy all trust on both LTMs chosing the create new certs option on each, remove the opposite member of the pair from all device and traffic groups, and delete the peers. Then rebuild from one LTM only--though both will be active at this point. Once that is done, choose one and reboot.
