FMG-VM64 v5.2.1
I'm trying to push the policy to a Fortigate 500D Cluster, Fortigate 5.2.1.
When I attempt to install the policy, I get the following error messages;
Policy console event 90% state:5 dvm_err:0 Prepare commit fail: vip overlap, Copy Package 'Name' Policy console event Failed to commit policies to devdb Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks.
Problem solved - please ignore.

Thank you!
if policy validation fail, pls provide copy log and task details, also debug output if possible (diag debug application securityconsole 255)
if policy install fail, pls provide device install log
and pls provide FMG version, ADOM version and FGT version
Thanks

The problem is a vip overlap. You can run "diag debug application securityconsole 255" to get more details.

yes fortimanger has to do a juniper like verification before the committal and it flags and will fail a committal . It's a great check imho.

It says "vip overlap". That looks like if you have an error in your portforward config (=vip). In this case obviously your port forwards overlap.

Hello,
I ran into the same issue.
when i tried to push a policy via Fortimanager i got the following error:
Post vdom failed:
error :-999 - vip overlap - vip-SMTP1, vip-SMTP2
config of VIPs:
edit "vip-SMTP1"
set service "HTTP"
set extip 177.123.09.09
set extintf "port2.75"
set mappedip "192.168.1.272"
next
edit "vip-SMTP2"
set service "HTTPS"
set extip 177.123.09.09
set extintf "port2.75"
set mappedip "192.168.1.272"
next
Has anyone run into the same problem?
What you are trying to configure is not support in FortiOS. For 2 VIPs to share the same external IP, they must have unique ports that are being forwarded.
