Opened: Feb 08, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Deleting a partition may cause the sync to peers to fail. For example, on BIG-IP1: tmsh delete auth partition P1 tmsh show cm sync-status Sync Summary Status Sync Failed Summary A validation error occurred while syncing to a remote device Details DG1: Sync error on BIG-IP2: Load failed from BIG-IP1 01070829:5: Input error: Invalid partition ID request, partition does not exist (P1)

Impact

The sync of this change may fail on peers.

Conditions

Two or more BIG-IPs in a DSC device group, say DG1. A partition (P1) is created where the root partition folder (/P1) or a subfolder is assigned to DG1. Objects have also been configured in the folder and the user deletes the partition, which will cause the folder and its contents to be deleted.

Workaround

Disable auto-sync on the device group if it's enabled, delete the partition on all of the peers, and re-enable auto-sync.

Fix Information

None
