Symptoms

After renewing your big3d certificates, LTM virtual servers become unavailable in GTM, and the bigip_add command starts failing. Logs in /varl/og/ltm "big3d SSL cert EXPIRED at IP <IP_ADDRESS>" "SSL error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed" "SSL error:14094413:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert unsupported certificate"

Impact

Big3d fails to verify the new certificate. Note: this can also occur if you use a public CA to sign the device certificate used for high availability.

Conditions

-- BIG-IP DNS (GTM) -- A Public CA is used to sign the certificates used by big3d
