Synchronizing configuration settings using the CLI

Use the commands in this section to synchronize configuration settings from one appliance in an HA pair to the peer appliance.

Note

All mismatched settings are synchronized with the source appliance at the same time. If necessary, you can manually adjust individual settings later.

To synchronize the configuration:

Enable the CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal
hostname (config) #

Synchronize the configuration from either appliance:
```
hostname (config) # cmc ha nx <pair> sync <targetAppliance> config with <sourceAppliance>
```
where <pair> is the name of the HA pair, <sourceAppliance> is the name of the appliance whose settings you want to keep, and <targetAppliance> is the name of the appliance whose settings you want to update. (The appliance name is displayed in the show cmc appliances command output).
Verify that the appliance configuration is synchronized:
```
hostname (config) # show cmc ha nx <pair>
```
Save your changes:
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```

Example

The following example uses the nx-2 appliance settings to synchronize the configuration settings on the Acme_NXHA pair. For example, if the NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers do not match, this command overwrites the nx-1 NTP server settings with the nx-2 settings.

hostname (config) # cmc ha nx Acme_NXHA sync nx-1 config with nx-2
Configuration is synced with nx-2 successfully
hostname (config) # show cmc ha nx Acme_NXHA
