HA Active/Passive - Unable to Push Config to Peer

Issue

HA Active/Passive is working correctly.

The "Push config to peer" link in the High Availability Dashboard Widget returns the error message:

HA peer not connected. Error occurred.

The following entry is seen in the ha-agent logs:

> less mp-log ha_agent.log

ha_state_cfg_check_insync(src/ha_state_cfg.c:279): group 1: mgmtsrvr insync: NO

Resolution

1. Restart the mgmtsrvr process on the device to which the configuration sync is pushed to:
   > debug software restart management-server
   Note: If the configuration is pushed from Active to Passive and the error message is seen in the HA logs of the active device, restart management service on the passive device.
2. After management service restarts, push the configuration to the HA peer:
   > request high-availability sync-to-remote running-config
