Disabling automatic configuration synchronization
In some cases you may want to use the following command to disable automatic synchronization of the primary unit configuration to all cluster units.
config system ha
set sync-config disable
end
When this option is disabled the cluster no longer synchronizes configuration changes. If a device failure occurs, the new primary unit may not have the same configuration as the failed primary unit. As a result, the new primary unit may process sessions differently or may not function on the network in the same way.
In most cases you should not disable automatic configuration synchronization. However, if you have disabled this feature you can use the execute ha synchronize command to manually synchronize a subordinate unit’s configuration to that of the primary unit.
You must enter
execute ha synchronize commands from the subordinate unit that you want to synchronize with the primary unit. Use the
execute ha manage command to access a subordinate unit CLI. See
“Viewing cluster status from the CLI”.
For example, to access the first subordinate unit and force a synchronization at any time, even if automatic synchronization is disabled enter:
execute ha manage 0
execute ha synchronize start
You can use the following command to stop a synchronization that is in progress.
execute ha synchronize stop
You can use the following command to a synchronization all parts of the configuration:
execute ha synchronize all
Individual options are also available to synchronize parts of the configuration. For example, enter the following command to synchronize CA certificates:
execute ha synchronize ca
