When the BIG-IP system boots, mcpd continually restarts.
The BIG-IP system is unable to complete the boot process and become active.
This may occur after you issue the 'diskinit' command with the '--style=volumes' option in the MOS (Maintenance Operating System) shell, install BIG-IP into the new volume, then boot into the new installation of the BIG-IP system.
In the MOS shell, do not issue the 'diskinit' command with the '--style=volumes' option. Instead, on BIG-IP v14.1.2.1 and later, you may use the 'image2disk' utility with the '-format' option to recreate the desired volume. You also can achieve the same result by following the shell guidance. To begin, type 'start<enter>'. If the system is already in the defective state, use this shell command, and then reboot: touch /.tmos.platform.init The problem should be resolved.
Running 'diskinit' from MOS with the '--style=volumes' option no longer causes continuous mcpd restarts.
