ACE Module Sync Issue

jteixido · ‎08-18-2010

Team,

We recently had an issue that the active ACE module would not sync to the standby ACE module, the following commands fixed our issue:

On the active do :
no ft auto-sync startup-config
no ft auto-sync running-config

wait about a minute and enable with:

ft auto-sync startup-config
ft auto-sync running-config

Regards,

this is typical. If you get in a state where standby can't sync (say for example ssl certs and keys

or probe scripts were not copied to standby) then you correct the condition by copying the files

to standby ft will not re-initiate bulk config unless you execute those commands

. This is typical when trying to correct standby_cold condition.

Does this have any affect on connectiosn on the ACE? I want to run this command but I can nerver drop below 4,000 connections. I am feerful it may drop connections. NAy feedback would be appreciated!

Chris,

I did not notice any dropped connections when I ran this command, I will admit that I did not have many connections to start with. I did not find any information on this by looking at the documentation: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/v3.00_A2/command/reference/config.html#wp1002392

the command will not cause dropped connections. Whaqt it does is kick off config sync nothing else.

This happens all on the control plane. Load balanced connections and through ace connections are on the data plane and

are not affected.
