Error in cisco ASA "Another session..."

[ahmed.gadi]

Hi all,

        Its very early morning here and i got call from customer saying that he cannot log into cisco ASA and getting this error

"ANOTHER SESSION IS WRITING CONFIGURATION TO MEMORY, PLEASE WAIT..." when he tries to log into enable mode of primary asa. usually customer uses ASDM to make changes in access-list and some sort of NATting..

Has anyone came across this error before ? ASA sw version is 7.0.2.

Thanks & Regards

Ahmed...

Hi,

That log was introduced on Pix firewall 4, it seems like someone else was doing a change when he was trying. Until the Wr Mem finish he would be able to make changes.

Cheers

No, he is the sole administrator of his network.

I still dont know how come sw version 7.0.2 got this error.

Actually i had reloaded both ASAs and everything works as usual and to all my surprise all configurations, which he made before this error were saved.

thanks for your help Rojas.
