Hi ggriebel,
"Previous synchronization still occurring on remote switch."
The message would occur because of the following reasons:
1. When you run the script, the software creates a lock file (config_sync_lock) in the script directory so that you cannot run the script from another session to the CSS. If the lock file exists and you run the script, the following message appears:
The script is in use by another session.
If the script terminates abnormally, the software does not remove the lock file. The next time you run the script, the above message appears. If you are certain that the script is not in use by another session, then you can use the -f argument to remove the lock file.
When you run the script with this argument, the following message appears and the script exits:
Config Sync lock file removed.
Now when you see the above message run the script again with the "-d" option, this should resove the issue.
2. First of all check for disk space on the CSS (show disk command) to make sure that there is enough space on the CSS. If there is not enough space on the CSS then it would not allow us to synchronize the configuration.
If running the script with the "-f" option does not seem to remove the lock then you can delete the lock (config_sync_lock) in the following manner.
CSS11150# llama
CSS11150(debug)# ap_file delete c:/ap0500063/script/?
Note: replace ap0500063 with the version of code currently on the CSS
Or remove old software:
CSS11150#config t
CSS11150(config)#boot
CSS11150(config-boot)# remove ?
ap0500207s
ap0500204
ap0610208s.adi.gz
ap0500309
ap0503025s
ap0610203
ap0610205s
CSS11150(config-boot)# remove
Look for the lock file and delete it. Now after deleting the lock file or removing the software, simpy run the script again.
3. In order for the script to work, it needs 4 configuration blocks: Global, Interface, Circuit and one more (group, owner etc.). So check your configuration and if there are only 3 of them then add another block and try the script once again.
Follow the above steps which should resolve your issue.
