Opened: Sep 02, 2020

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

If a BIG-IP is on version 13.1.0 through 15.1.x and has profiles in use that use wam-tcp-wan-optimized and/or wam-tcp-lan-optimized as parent profiles, then when the configuration is upgraded to 16.0.0, the configuration fails to load, with an error similar to: err mcpd[10087]: 01020036:3: The requested parent profile (/Common/wam-tcp-wan-optimized) was not found.

Impact

Configuration does not load.

Conditions

-- Upgrading from version 13.1.0 through 15.1.x. -- Using profiles derived from wam-tcp-wan-optimized and/or wam-tcp-lan-optimized.

Workaround

Remove these profiles and adjust the configuration elements that use them accordingly. Here are two examples: -- Copy the definition of 'wam-tcp-wan-optimized' from /defaults/wam_base.conf into /config/bigip.conf, and then reload the configuration. -- Change the references to wam-tcp-wan-optimized to something else in your config file (e.g., tcp-wan-optimized), and then reload the configuration.
