Symptoms

When deleting an HTTP iApp, the system posts errors similar to this in the LTM log, along with similar sync errors in the GUI: -- err mcpd[6629]: 01070265:3: The HTTP Profile (/Common/http-test-farm1.app/http-test-farm1_http) cannot be deleted because it is in use by a sflow http data source (16). -- err mcpd[6629]: 01071488:3: Remote transaction for device group /Common/HA_Group to commit id 895 6070871290648001573 /Common/cr-ltm-bb2.ns.uwaterloo.ca 0 failed with error 01070265:3: The HTTP Profile (/Common/http-test-farm1.app/http-test-farm1_http) cannot be deleted because it is in use by a sflow http data source (16).

Impact

Sync failure. Cannot delete the iApp manually after the error occurs.

Conditions

Auto-sync must be enabled. HTTP iApp must have been reconfigured prior to deleting the iApp.

Workaround

Do not use auto-sync. If the sync failure has already occurred, refer to SOL13030: Forcing the mcpd process to reload the BIG-IP configuration (https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/000/sol13030.html) for information on how to restore configuration sync.

Fix Information

Ensure the sFlow data source is removed from an HTTP profile when it is deleted.
