Hello Checkmates
After completed the upgrade of a VSX Cluster (through CLI), I've went through the vsx_util upgrade and reconfigure of the various Virtual Systems. I can now from smartconsole see that both the VSX, Gateways and VS are showing as being on R80.40. opened all VS properties and ensured that this was successful,
I successfully pushed the existing policies to the VSX cluster, however, when I tried to push the policies to any VS, the installation fails with an error: "Peer SIC Certificate has been revoked try to reset SIC on the peer and re-establish the trust"
I followed SK34098
and got the following results
ID | Type & Name | Access Control Policy | Installed at | Threat Prevention Policy | SIC Stat
-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------+--------------------------+---------
1 | W VSW | <Not Applicable> | | <Not Applicable> | Trust
2 | S CPX_NYC_VS1 | <No Policy> | | <No Policy> | Trust
3 | S CPX_NYC_VS2 | <No Policy> | | <No Policy> | Trust
[Expert@CPX01NYC:0]# vsenv 3
Context is set to Virtual Device CPX_NYC_VS2 (ID 3).
[Expert@CPX01NYC:3]# fw vsx sicreset
Failed to initialize SIC!
[Expert@CPX01NYC:0]# vsenv 2
Context is set to Virtual Device CPX_NYC_VS1 (ID 2).
[Expert@CPX01NYC:2]# fw vsx sicreset
Failed to initialize SIC!
also step from the following link to no avail

Has anyone come across this, any idea how I can reset the SIC for a specific VS in R80.40?
Thanks
According to sk168393 (updated May 3) - SIC reset per Virtual System does not work in R80.40, R81
An official hotfix for 'fw vsx sicreset' per Virtual System will be integrated in a future Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator. A workaround procedure is provided in the SK (sk168393)
What the? This worked in r77.30 and I'm facing the same issue in 80.40. If only my project had a bucket for SK rabbitholes...
I would reset gw and re-do reconfigure. Easiest way to get SIC back on whole system
