I have a failover CAM configured, one is configured as the Master and the other one is receiver.

when I do manual sync between them this is what happen:

Successfuly completed pre-sync check with 10.10.80.248

then I click continue it fails to sync:

this is the log :

Hi,

Please note that this feature is not meant to be used between 2 CAMs of an HA pair.

As you can see on the config guide:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/appliance/configuration_guide/48/cam/m_admin.html#wp1050935,

- All CAMs must run release 4.5 or later to enable Policy Sync.

- On CAM HA-pairs, Policy Sync settings are disabled for the Standby CAM.

So, this means you can use this feature only in active CAMs or Standalone CAMs.

In HA pairs, Only the Active CAM will be active for this feature.

HTH,

Tiago
