Hello,

Clickthe 'Sync to Peer' button on that same line. If this is a new HA deployemnt, it is a requirement. If not, something could have goofed during the sync, you may want to check the logs. If its happening frequently, might want to open a support case.

Regards,

@Radmin_85,

Outside of what @OtakarKlier already mentioned I would ensure that the peer doesn't have an active commit lock which would prevent the active unit from syncing the configuration. As for the Antivirus version you may want to ensure that you've staged the scheduled install times so that you don't have both firewalls downloading and pushing the updates at the same time, that can cause a few issues.

@Radmin_85,

I've outlined the follow three steps in likelyhood that they will actually fix your issue. Work through this list and see if that doens't fix your issue.

1) Have you logged into the peer firewall and verified that it doesn't have an active commit lock or half-complete configuration statements that are blocking the active member from pushing the running-config to the peer. If you can get access to the peer firewall then ensure that you don't have any active locks and revert to running-config to ensure that all possible changes are wiped away; then from the active member run 'request high-availability sync-to-remote running-config', 'request high-availability sync-to-remote runtime-state'.

2) Outside of that you can monitor the ha-agent logs by running 'less mp-log ha_agent.log' which should show an error that would give some insight into what exactly is causing the sync issue.

3) You can also try restarting the mgmtsrvr process on the passive device by running 'debug software restart process management-server'; I've seen instances where this needs to be ran on both to actually bring the config back in-sync, but usually just the passive will fix any issues.

@Radmin_85,

If non of that is working I would simply call TAC and work through the issue with them. You shouldn't have to break HA to get this functional at all.

Hello, I understand this is an old post but were you able to fix the issue? We're having the same problem and have tried every solution out there. TAC advised to reset the Passive device to factory settings but that still didn't fix the issue.

Maybe it will help someone in the future, that I fought similar issue today for some hours and found solution for my case.

While all logs stated that sync was done successfully, dashboard still stated that config is not synced.

In my case, the solution was to check the SSL certificates. On passive one, I did delete few months ago main HTTPS certificate as the old one was no longer valid, and never created a new one for that time. Now issue showed up after cluster software update, and it was enough to just create new SSL certificate, attach it to the Management page. Then forced sync via browser and it surprisingly worked this time.

Thank you @BPry I restarted Management plane on passive unit first and tried sync, still didn't show as synced on dashboard despite showing in tasks as completed successfully. Restarted management plane on active FW and ran again. Now running config status is showing as synced on the dashboard.

Normally clicking on syn to peer works most of the time.

Hello.

I also observed the mentioned problems.
After Dynamic updates of the anti-virus, the problem will be solved.
The anti-virus version must be the same on both firewalls. The prerequisites for HA are:

same model, same PAN-OS version, the same type of interfaces, the same set of licenses, same anti-virus updates, same threat version.
