Hello can someone please help.

I've had problems with the

commit_redundConfig "99.99.99.2" command

I've used the -f but its still not copying the config from the master to the backup, here is the output from the

commit_redundConfig "99.99.99.2 -d"

when I look at the backup CSS it has erased the app config completely! so I have to start again using the config below

conf t

ip redundancy

app session 99.99.99.1

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 6.100.100.144 1

!************************** CIRCUIT **************************

circuit VLAN99

description "Link to Standby for Redundancy"

ip address 99.99.99.2 255.255.255.0

redundancy-protocol

I've checked for the script commit_failure on the Backup and cleared it but it still doesn't want to work

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

It looks as if active CSS couldn't sense app session on the backup css.

You can try few things

run

show app session verbose

on both CSS and see if you get

"State: APP_SESSION_UP" on both CSS

"show redundancy" on both CSS and look for

"Number of times redundancy state changed to Master: "

If these changes are incrementing constantly

then there could be a link issue between the CSSs.

you can also remotely execute commands over session using

rcmd "any css command"

for e.g

rcmd 99.99.99.1 "sh clock"

to verify if app session is working.

Before running all the above tests make sure both CSSs are in same time zone and try changing the failover link to auto-negotiate on both CSSs.

Hello Syed,

Many thanks for the reply.

I initially set up the

ip redundancy

app

app session 99.99.99.1

and the interface/circuit VLAN stuff on the backup CSS ok

When the app session is showing as 'up' I issue the commit command from the master, it all goes ok until the master wipes the config off the backup and then I lose the app session!

Really strange behaviour

Any ideas appreciated

Cheers Tony
