Bug ID 2285461: BIG-IQ version 8.4.1 repeatedly logs unsupported-version errors in /var/log/ltm.

Last Modified: Sep 03, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ Platform(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
8.4.1, 8.4.2, 8.4.2.1, 8.4.2.2

Opened: Apr 21, 2026

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When BIG-IQ 8.4.1 is deployed on ESX, /var/log/ltm may be flooded with messages similar to: 01420012:5: Loading schema version: 12.1.1 01420006:3: "ready" unexpected argument

Impact

The tmsh readiness command fails with a syntax error, resulting in repeated error messages and log flooding in /var/log/ltm.

Conditions

BIG-IQ version 8.4.1. BIG-IQ Virtual Edition deployed on ESX (F5-BIQ-VE-S). The tmsh command is invoked with the unsupported version argument 12.1.1.

Workaround

Configure the readiness check to use a CLI schema version compatible with BIG-IQ 8.4.1, such as 14.0.0, instead of 12.1.1: tmsh -a -r 14.0.0 show sys ready

Fix Information

None
