Loading a UCS from an older version might cause db timeouts. /var/log/ltm contains errors similar to the followind: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/F5/DbUtils.pm.
UCS load fails and multiple error messages are logged. This is a rarely occurring issue.
-- Devices running different software versions are configured in a device group. -- A sync operation is triggered from the device running the older version. -- The device group is in the middle of an upgrade, the newer version being pre-11.6.0 HF5 or pre-11.5.2 HF1.
Make sure all BIG-IP systems in a device group are running the same version of the software.
