Managing
Virtual

Contexts
Synchronizing
Virtual

Context

Configurations
You
can

synchronize

t

he

configurations

for


a

virtual

context.

ANM

allows

you

to

synchronize

the
configuration
information

residing

on

an

ACE

with

the

configuration

information

maintained

by

the
ANM
server

for

the

same

device.

When

ANM

synchronizes

a

context,

it

uploads

the

configuration

from
the
device

to

the

ANM

server.

In

accordance

with

your

role-based

permission

level,

the

ANM

Status

bar
displays
the

number

of

virtual

contexts

that

are

not

synchronized

with

the

ACE

CLI

against

the

total
number
of

vi

rtual

contexts

and

the

number

of

failed

synchronization

at

tempts.
You
should

synchronize

contexts

for

the

following

reasons:

•
You
configure

the

ACE

di

rectly

vi

a
the
CLI
instead
of
using

the

ANM

i

nterface.
The
CLI
Sync
Status
is

Out

of

Sync

in

the

Virtual

Contexts

table

(Config

>

Devices

>

ACE)

if

the

configurations
for
a

virtual

context

differ.

•
A
context

has

been

removed
from

the

ACE

using

the

CLI,

reflected

by

t

he

CLI

Sync

Status
Unprovisioned
in

the

Virtual

Contexts

table.

In

this

situation,

you

need

to

synchronize

the

Admin
context
t

o

remove

the

unprovisioned

context.

•
A
context

has

not

successfully
been
imported

into
ANM
dur

ing

discovery

or

a

Syn

c

operation,
reflected
by

the

CLI

Sync

Status

Import

Failed

in

the

Virtual

Contexts

table.

In

this

situation,

you
need
to

synchronize

the

context

before

you

can

modify

its

configuration.

•
You
recently

installed

or

uninstalled

a

license

on

an

ACE

using

either

ANM

or

the

CLI.

Synchronize
the
