The configuration might fail to load upon upgrade to the affected version if the internal data-group with string type has records that contain open/close brace under data attribute. The error message can differ depending on your exact configuration.
Upgrade to the affected version fails.
Internal data-group exists with string type and has records that contain open/close brace under data attribute. For example: ltm data-group internal /Common/my_data_group { records { first_record { data } } second_record { data { } } type string } This can trigger when upgrading to any version prior to 12.1.0
After upgrade, correct the syntax of the data-group in /config/bigip.conf and then load the config again, e.g., tmsh load sys config.
The configuration now loads successfully upon upgrade, and no longer produces an error if the internal data-group with string type has records that contain open/close brace under data attribute.
