If you have a partition, and a remote-role info that mentions the partition, then you can delete the partition but the role info is not modified. Once this configuration is saved, future loads fail with an error similar to the following: 01070829:5: Input error: Invalid partition ID request, partition does not exist (your-partition-name)
Load fails.
A partition has been deleted, but the remote role configuration still names the partition.
Before removing a partition, ensure that any role-info entries mentioning the partition are also removed. If you already have encountered a failure to load such a configuration, edit /config/bigip.conf to remove the remote-role entries in the 'auth remote-role' section.
It is no longer possible to enter this state. If a partition is referenced by a role-info entry, deleting that partition fails.
