Fixed In:
8.4.2
Opened: Feb 03, 2026 Severity: 3-Major
When attempting to import a BIG-IP device into BIG-IQ, the operation fails with an error such as: Failed to copy configuration to working-config; reason: Failed copying from source to target: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid country code or country : Curacao The process may also fail if the configuration includes Curacao (CW), Sint Maarten (SX)
The BIG-IP device cannot be imported into BIG-IQ if the Address List contains the country codes 'SS,' 'CW,' or 'SX.'
The BIG-IP configuration references the geolocation country codes "CW" (Curaçao), "SX" (Sint Maarten), or "SS" (South Sudan). Attempting to import this configuration into BIG-IQ. The geolocations.json file on BIG-IQ does not include these country codes.
Manually add the following entry for "SS" (South Sudan) to the file /var/config/rest/security/geolocations.json on the BIG-IQ system, then restart the restjavad service: "SS" : { "code" : "SS", "name" : "South Sudan", "regions" : [ "Central Equatoria", "Eastern Equatoria", "Jonglei", "Lakes", "Northern Bahr el-Ghazal", "Unity", "Upper Nile", "Warrap", "Western Bahr el-Ghazal", "Western Equatoria"] }, "CW" : { "code" : "CW", "name" : "Curacao", "regions" : [] }, "SX" : { "code" : "SX", "name" : "Sint Maarten", "regions" : [] } After updating the file, run: bigstart restart restjavad
BIG-IQ now includes the country codes 'CW' (Curaçao), 'SX' (Sint Maarten), and 'SS' (South Sudan) in the geolocations.json file, enabling the successful import of BIG-IP configurations that reference these geolocations.
