An error log inside 'platform.log' for the rSeries systems or 'velos.log' in the VELOS systems when you configure a server-group name with an embedded space. In velos.log on F5OS-C or platform.log on F5OS-A: appliance-1 authd[8]: priority="Err" version=1.0 msgid=0x3901000000000109 msg="Failed to set element in cdb." path="/system/aaa/server-groups/server-group" error="Bad key "my server group" (wrong number of identifiers) at: /system/aaa/server-groups/server-group" errno="Exec format error".
The configuration change will not take an effect.
Creating a server-group name with an embedded space. Example: my server group
Remove all spaces from the server-group name. For example, if the server-group name with a space was 'my server group', you can rename it into 'my_server_group' and re-configure the rest of the values. appliance-1(config)# system aaa server-groups server-group my_server_group config name my_server_group appliance-1(config)#commit
Avoid embedded spaces when you create server-group names.
