Description

The following error is displayed when making configuration changes to the primary NetScaler:
"Unable to establish connection with the secondary. Command propagation failed"

Resolution

Complete the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. Ensure that the "ns-server-certificate" and "cert-key" pair are installed on primary and secondary NetScaler and bound to internal service 127.0.0.1.
  2. In certain cases (say after upgrade to 12.1.62.x), it could be because of the use of older TLS protocols. Keep only TLS1.2 enabled. Navigate to Traffic Management -> Services -> Internal Services -> Edit "nsrpcs-127.0.0.1-3008" -> Edit "SSL Parameters" -> Keep only "TLS1.2" enabled -> Click on "Ok" -> Click on "Done" and test "secure" RPC 
  3. Refer to CTX109013 - Troubleshooting the NetScaler High Availability Issues for additional troubleshooting information.
