NimbostratusWhen changes were made on a standby unit and then other changes were made on an active unit, your config is out of sync, which means you will lose one set of changes either way you sync your nodes. So my question is, is there a way to figure out what changes were made on one node and not the other, so when you do push sync you can replicate the configurations that will be lost?
Employeei think the easiest way is to compare configuration file. for scf, there is config-diff option in tmsh show sys.
config-diff View the difference between two SCF files, or a file to running configuration
Nimbostratuscould you then essentially use a compare/combine app like notepad++ to merge the two then copy the config back in using tmsh?
Nimbostratusi think you can, its just personal view that I prefer not to make changes in scf file. I will prefer to check the changes and apply to one of them and overwrite the configuration on other.
Employeenormally i paste only configuration which is different.

for tmsh, it is tmsh load sys config from-terminal merge.
