Symptoms

Config sync fails after creating a partition. A config sync error similar to the following occurs: Configuration error: Can't associate (/P1/pool1) with folder (/P1) folder does not exist

Impact

A transaction will fail or incremental sync on APM will fail on a peer.

Conditions

This error occurs when a folder is created in the same transaction that an object is also created in that folder. This can be done either by explicitly using tmsh or iControl transaction mechanisms or through incremental sync of APM where folders get created.

Workaround

In the case of transactions, create partitions and folders in a separate transaction from any object creation. For incremental sync of APM, force a full sync by using the 'Overwrite Configuration' option in the UI.

Fix Information

None
