Config Sync to Passive Device Fails After Changing the Virtual Router when using Path Monitoring

Issue

High Availability (HA) config sync will synchronize the running configuration, but the actual HA settings are not synchronized. If using HA Path Monitoring, the options are to add a Virtual Wire, VLAN, or Virtual Router that will be monitored. When you change the name of a Virtual Router used by the HA Path Monitoring setting on the active device, the Virtual Router change on the device is made but the HA Path Monitoring will still reference the old Virtual Router name.

Resolution

To fix this sync issue:

1. On the passive device, go to Device > High Availability > Link and Path Monitoring
2. Change the Virtual Router name to the new name. It will be available from a drop-down list of all Virtual Routers
3. Commit the change and wait for the commit to finish
4. On the active device, sync the configuration manually or wait for the sync settings to automatically sync

To do a configuration sync:

- On the dashboard in the High Availability widget, click the Sync Config link

- In CLI, enter the command: > request high-availability sync-to-remote running-config
