Error when trying to run ConfigSync

I have two BIG-IP 3600s that I'm trying to setup for HA. I have configured the first device and I'm trying to sync the config using ConfigSync to the second device. I have tried using "sync TO peer" on the first device, and "sync FROM peer" on the second device and I get pretty much the same error messages on both.

One of the errors in the output is saying that I have a floating address configured without a non-floating address on the same network... but I DO have a non-floating address in the same network configured. Here is the output:

  • can you post your tmsh list /cm device and tmst list /cm device-group configs, as well as tmsh /cm trust-domain? Anonymized is fine.

     

  • Those commands give me this error: Syntax Error: "/cm" unexpected argument. I can't find the equivalent commands in the version 10.2 tmos reference guide.

     

    I am running 10.2.4, is that why those commands don't work?

     

  • Have you configured non-float self-ips for this network on the second device as well?

     

  • Sorry I made a stupid mistake. The netmask for both self-ips on that network on the secondary device were wrong. After fixing that, everything is good now.
