Synchronizing configurations between BIG-IP devices in a DSC cluster

You must add a BIG-IP device configured in a DSC to the BIG-IP Devices inventory list and discover the DSC from the DSC Groups inventory list before you can synchronize BIG-IP devices configured in a DSC.
Synchronizing configuration between BIG-IP devices in a DSC cluster saves you time because you don't have to log on to each BIG-IP device in the cluster individually.
Unmanaged BIG-IP devices in a DSC do not display the
Sync
button.
