After saving/loading the UCS and rebooting, the BIG-IP may end up in a state where the bigip.conf file is empty. This can cause the MCPD to fail to load. Error logs have shown that MCPD is waiting without receiving a response, and the system configuration cannot be loaded due to the missed user configuration.
MCPD fails to load, causing the BIG-IP system inoperative until the configuration is restored from backup (bigip.conf.bak), resulting to downtime
Occurs intermittently after UCS save/load operations followed by reboots or toggling the BIG-IP. The bigip.conf file ends up empty, while the bigip.conf.bak remains intact.
