In some rare and still unknown situations the BIG-IP Mcpd process may core when creating or modifying LTM policies. While the root cause of the crash is not fully understood at this time, one of the symptoms points to a nonexistent or invalid LTM policy.
The BIG-IP control plane services restart thus affecting both, control plane and data plane functionality.
Creating or modifying LTM policies.
A possible workaround could be to attempt re-creating the LTM policy producing the crash under a different name. Avoid any special characters (or spaces) in the name of the LTM policy.
Not fixed yet.
