Sync-Failover between vCMP guests: mcpd error: Cannot change the system failsafe action on a chassis

Hi

trying to build a Sync-Failover device group between 2 vCMP instances: one on a 7250v and the other is on a Viprion. Both on v12 HF1. Device group configured and then I try to perform the first sync (overwrite config) from the 7250v guest to the Viprion. it doesn't work and I get the following error in the LTM log of the Viprion guest

err mcpd[6296]: 01071049:3: Cannot change the system failsafe action on a chassis

Isn't it a supported configuration?

Thanks

Alex

    I've opened a support ticket. Got a BugID (not clear if that will be fixed through documentation or change in the GUI):

    ID586974 - vCMP: the ha entry switchboard failsafe does not apply and should not be changed on guests"

    The workaround for now is to make a change on the non-Viprion vCMP bigip_base.conf

    sys global-settings {
    failsafe-action reboot  <<<<<--------------remove this line
    gui-setup disabled
    hostname vipwird2-guest1.techlab.ch
}
