After rebooting BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) deployed on a cloud provider, the instance enters LICENSE INOPERATIVE state. Errors similar to one below are seen in an LTM log: err chmand[4770]: Curl request to metadata service failed with error(7): 'Couldn't connect to server'.
Instance is not operational after restart.
- Static management IP address configuration. - Instance is restarted.
After instance is fully booted, reload the license with 'reloadlic'.
In case of 1 NIC with static route, issuing "bigstart restart mcpd" will not be enough to bring system to the licensed state, issue "reboot" instead.
