Symptoms

ASM policies are created as inactive policies on the peer device.

Impact

ASM policies are created as inactive policies on the peer device, resulting in an inconsistency between peers.

Conditions

This occurs when the following conditions are met: -- ASM Sync is enabled on a Sync-Only auto-sync Device Group. -- There is either no failover group, or the failover group is a manual sync group.

Workaround

You can use either of the following workarounds: -- Set the device group with ASM sync enabled to manual sync. -- Enable auto-sync for the failover group.

Fix Information

This release fixes the ASM Synchronization mechanism so that ASM policies are correctly created on the peer device
