Getting errors: Running Configuration not synchronized after retries

Not applicable

Hello.  I have two PA 5050's in an HA active/passive pair.  I will randomly - once a week get a message "SYSTEM ALERT : critical : HA Group 1 : Running configuration not synchronized after retries.  If I check on the dashboard-HighAvailability - I see the config is not synchronized.  If I wait a few seconds and refresh this status and the configs are synch'd.  I am running version 5.0.8.  I have seen this post - but it says it was fixed in 5.0.7.  Any help is appreciated.

PAN-OS 5.0.7: Addressed Issues

Hello Zach,

1. Could you please verify ha-agent.logs for more detail information regarding this failure.

2. If you have configured/uploaded any certificates on one HA member, could you please make sure the same information has been updated on the Passive member as well.

3. As per previous support case information, 5.0.9 and 5.0.10 is not having this issue.

4. Could you please take a look on mgmtserver CPU and memory usage..?

Thanks

Thank you for the reply.

1 - You referring to the monitor - system tab on the Passive unit?  If so nothing here is helpful other than the critical alert and then about 1 minute later stating the configs have successfully sync'd

2 - Certificates are the same on both boxes

3 - we are 5.0.8.  Can you point me to the documentation that says to upgrade past 5.0.8 to resolve this issue? (I want to ensure I am fighting either a config issue or a bug issue)

4 - CPU utilization on HA peer at time of issue was DP: 0 MP: 2.  CPU utilization on Active at this time was DP: 12 MP: 9.  And wow - just realized i'm not collecting memory information.  Adding this monitor.

So it would appear I cannot monitor the memory utilization on my 5050's running 5.0.8.  If someone is aware of a way to do this let me know.  I looked at the below two links and found nothing for memory/RAM utilization.  I am already monitoring CPU on MP/DP.

Hello Sir,

1. I am not talking about system logs, Please find below the command to verify HA-agent.logs.

> less mp-log ha_agent.log   ( "/"  key-word to search | Shift + G to go to the end of the file)

2. I have given you the suggestion, based on previous case history ( all 3 cases the problem gets resolved after bring the firewall  to 5.0.9 /5.0.10.)


Thanks
