Symptoms

Policies are either not (fully) created or not (fully) deleted on the peer device

Impact

Policies are either not created/deleted, or not fully created/deleted. Note: Fully created and fully deleted meaning that the following commands agree with each other: # tmsh list asm policy one-line all-properties # tmsh list asm policy one-line

Conditions

-- Device Service Clustering configured. -- High availability (HA) configuration with Sync-Only (no failover) device group (Auto, incremental) with ASM sync enabled. -- Create/delete active/inactive ASM policies via TMSH/GUI.

Workaround

Issue a forced full sync from the originating device to the device group.

Fix Information

We have fixed the process of create/delete active/inactive ASM policies so that the actions would be correctly synced over to the peer device in a HA pair with Sync-Only (no fail-over) device group (Auto, incremental) with ASM sync enabled
