How to Verify the difference first
- 1) Perform a VIMDIFF on both the config files
- 2) Perform a MD5 Checksum on the config files to see if the values match
- 3) Check the Objects in Active and Standby device
Procedure :
- 1) Check if you save once you make changes in the Active device
- 2) Perform a manual sync
- 3) After VIMDIFF comparison, If there is no change - NO issues, If not look at the changes if they are recent - perform a config sync then Perform a VIMDIFF again.
- 4) if MD5Checksum value is same. no issues, if they are different perform a SYNC from active.
- 5) Check the Daemons responsible for Configsync CSSD, MCPD

I wanted to reopen this as I have come across this same issue. The pairs are labelled "in sync" however one device has a different configuration than the other (an extra VS exists). At this time the active unit has the extra VS and the standby does not.
What causes this issue and how do we fix it? How can we trust the rest of our devices are in sync if we're seeing this problem way past the time this change was ever made?
Thanks!
