Nexus 5020 Switch Profile Error

[tobin_jim]

Hi There,

I have 2 x 5020s peered together with a switch profile. Somehow the switch-profile configurations have gone out of sync.

1st 5020

I am now unable to make changes to the switch-profile config. I know exactly where the difference is in the config. It is the description on one of the Ethernet interfaces

interface Ethernet173/1/44

  description *** Server D4 ILO 10.87.103.51 ***

  switchport access vlan 31

  spanning-tree port type edge

interface Ethernet173/1/44

  description *** Server D4 ILO 10.87.103.62 ***

  switchport access vlan 31

  spanning-tree port type edge

How can I recover from this and sync up both the profiles to the same revision?

Hi,

Manually fix the description on one side so that both side look equally. (just conf term not conf sync)

Then it shoul sync again. But try to sync from both switches - I've the situation that it config sync succseeds from one side but not from the other.

Thanks for the reply. We tried your method but were unable to sync the profile back up again. Cisco TAC have informed me that your method should have worked and that the version of NX-OS we have has a known bug. We're upgarding the version to solve this issue.
