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.

Important: Unmanaged BIG-IP devices in a DSC do not display the Sync button.

  1. At the top of the screen, click Devices.

  2. On the left, click BIG-IQ CLUSTERS > DSC Groups.

    The screen displays the list of DSC groups defined on this device.

  3. Click the name of the cluster that you want to synchronize.

  4. Click the Refresh Status button to get the most current sync status for the devices in the DSC group.

  5. For the Sync Option setting, select one of the options:

    • Device to Group - Select this option to prompt the BIG-IP device to synchronize its configuration with other device(s) in the DSC group.
    • Group to Device - Select this option to prompt the DSC group to load its configuration onto the BIG-IP device.

  6. Click the Sync button.

  7. To close the screen, click the Close button.
