## Symptoms

- * The "`fw vsx fetch`" command fails with this error:

  "`Management rejected fetch for this module - version matching problem`"

  **Note** : The "`vsx fetch`" command fetches the most current configuration files from the Security Management Server or Multi-Domain Management Server and applies them to the Virtual System Extension (VSX) Gateway, ensuring it is up to date.
* The RMA Restore tool may fail with a similar error when executing the "`fw vsx fetch`" command. 

  **Note**: The RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) Restore Tool is part of the Central Deployment Tool (CDT), which automates the process of restoring a backup configuration to a replacement Security Gateway.
* The "`sp_upgrade`" script may fail with a similar error when executing the "`fw vsx fetch`' command.

  **Note** : The "`sp_upgrade`" script upgrades software on Maestro Security Groups.

## Cause

This issue occurs when the VSX policy is compiled using an incorrect version. Specifically, it affects environments where:

* The Security Management Server or Multi-Domain Management Server has been upgraded to version R82.
* The VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster remains version R81.x.
