Controller Config Syncing

Question

I have a PS3000 running firmware 6.0.6. I first configured my active controller and everything appears to be working well with it. When I serial into the standby controller though, it has none of the configuration and thinks I need to do a fresh setup. How long after you make changes on the primary controller does the secondary receive those changes? Is there anyway to tell that the secondary is "up to date" with the primary so if there is a failure, it should transition nicely?

Thanks for any input

Don,

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I was getting at is when I was doing firmware updates, the controllers would restart which would flip from which one was active and which was standby. The active controller I originally had setup was fine, but when it would restart and resort to the standby. The standby through serial connection when I would login, would act like it was fresh and ask me if I wanted to start the guided setup. It didn't see that a setup / configuration had already taken place on the other controller, so that made me concerned that the two controllers weren't talking / syncing their information.

Besides resorting to testing the controllers where I fail the primary, is there anyway to ensure that they are syncing or talking with each other, so that when the primary fails, the secondary actually picks up where the primary left off.

Thanks
