CLI policy fetch

[Steve_Pearson]

I'm currently creating some autoconfig.clish files to deploy a handful of Spark 1535/55 gateways.

The scripts run fine, setting the password, WAN/LAN ip's, ntp etc, then set's the SIC and connects to a central management server.

The final command is to fetch the policy but this fails.

I can go to the management server and install the policy no problem, and after doing so I can run the CLI command again and it works correctly.

Is this an expected behaviour, whereby you can't pull the policy if there is no policy already on the box?

I can't see anything that says you must install the first policy from the management server,

I know that in Quantum Security Gateway (not Spark) you cannot fetch the policy if there is no policy already installed on the device. Fetch command is designed to update an existing policy on the gateway. If there is no policy currently installed, the fetch operation will not have a baseline to compare against and update.

It is probably the same in Quantum Spark.
