Symptoms

Creating or loading guest on a cluster on which slot 1 is empty can result in error.

Impact

The guest create command fails or the config fails to load, and the system posts the error: Unable to find default core count for guest on this hardware.

Conditions

This only occurs on clustered BIG-IP systems when slot 1 is empty (unpopulated) with no 'cores-per-slot' attribute explicitly set.

Workaround

Explicitly set the 'cores-per-slot' attribute in the guest create command or in the guest config.

Fix Information

Creating or loading a guest config on a clustered BIG-IP with an empty slot 1 no longer results in an error, and the default cores-per-slot value is correctly used for the guests.
