Best Practice for Sync Between Primary and Failover

Thanks for your answer.

 

I've tried;

 

public void SynchNow()

 

{

 

if (this.F5Interface.SystemFailover.is_redundant())

 

{

 

this.F5Interface.SystemConfigSync.synchronize_configuration(

 

iControl.SystemConfigSyncSyncMode.CONFIGSYNC_ALL);

 

}

 

}

 

 

The problem is I am always getting a "timeout exception". First of all if I am only changing the state/availability of a pool member do I need to use;

 

SYNCMODE_BASIC or SYNCMODE_ALL? If I have to use SYNCMODE_ALL, do I need to change the Timeout variable?

 

Is synch operation "only" updating the difference between config files, or does it copy the whole config file?

 

 

Here's what I got If I go to High Availability->Config Sync;

 

 

ConfigSync Peer Use Primary Connection Mirror AddressSpecify IP Address...

 

ConfigSync Peer Address x.x.x.x

 

ConfigSync Peer Address

 

ConfigSync User Name: xxx

 

Password:

 

 

Encryption offon

 

Passphrase

 

Verify Passphrase

 

Detect ConfigSync Status Enabled

 

Status Message Local configuration and peer configuration have changed: Duplicate the changes, then perform ConfigSync

 

Last Change (Self) Wed Mar 12 06:59:48 PDT 2008

 

Last Change (Peer) Thu Mar 06 14:12:53 PST 2008

 

Last ConfigSync Tue Feb 19 14:10:05 PST 2008

 

 

Couple of questions here;

 

What does ""Local configuration and peer configuration have changed: Duplicate the changes, then perform ConfigSync " means?

 

Can I do a "Synch" operation only if I am a "ConfigSync User"?

 

 

Thanks,
