Symptoms

Impact

The upgrade fails while loading the configuration.

Conditions

This happens during the upgrade from v12.1.x to v14.1.x for the existing keys with ".key" extension to it in the label. It occurs only if the key is deleted/not present in the FIPS card (e.g. a faulty card), and BIG-IP has the configuration / metadata for the missing keys.
