How to fix Fault Tolerance on ACE 20?

[netternewbie]

Hi,

I have two ACE 20's in two 6500's. I have an Admin context with a number of contexts. Unfortunately one context has the backup as FSM_FT_STATE_STANDBY_COLD not Standby_Hot.

I have checked its configuration and noticed a number of lines missing from the correct active context. I know now I have to force the config across by taking the ft-group out of service.

My question is do I do this on the working ACE or do it on both ACE's admin groups? 

I think this is what I do.

config ft group X

no inservice

Give it a few mins to sync across to broken ACE and then put it back inservice?

Or do I need to do this on the broken ACE? I don't want to lose the good config and the broken config to copy across.

It went into cold state straight away. I went on active and did no ft-auto sync runn and then ft-auto sync runn. Unfortunately still getting the sticky error but a shorter one than last one.

sh ft config-error

`sticky ip-netmask 255.255.255.255 address source STICKY-SSL-****-FARM`
Error: sticky resource not available
--
`serverfarm ****-FARM`

Error(s) while applying config.

I have removed the stickyfarm and put in a test probe and it works fine. Very minute i put in sticky farm it breaks. How do you mean remove sticky group?
