Symptoms

iControl REST queries may fail against specific versions of BIG-IP in AWS. When this issue is encountered, all queries fail for the entirety of the BIG-IP uptime. An error message mentioning "RestWorkerUriNotFoundException" will be returned. For instance, this basic query will always return 404: curl -k -u admin:ADMINPASSWORD -sv -X GET https://1.2.3.4/mgmt/tm/ltm * Trying 1.2.3.4... * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4) port 443 (#0) * TLS 1.2 connection using TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 * Server certificate: localhost.localdomain * Server auth using Basic with user 'admin' > GET /mgmt/tm/ltm HTTP/1.1 > Host: 1.2.3.4 > Authorization: Basic .... > User-Agent: curl/7.43.0 > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found < Date: 20 Jun 2016 17:49:39 UTC < Server: com.f5.rest.common.RestRequestSender ... { [1093 bytes data] * Connection #0 to host 1.2.3.4 left intact { "errorStack" : [ "com.f5.rest.common.RestWorkerUriNotFoundException: http://localhost:8100/mgmt/tm/ltm", "at com.f5.rest.workers.ForwarderPassThroughWorker.cloneAndForwardRequest(ForwarderPassThroughWorker.java:293)", "at com.f5.rest.workers.ForwarderPassThroughWorker.onForward(ForwarderPassThroughWorker.java:211)", "at com.f5.rest.workers.ForwarderPassThroughWorker.onGet(ForwarderPassThroughWorker.java:370)", "at com.f5.rest.common.RestWorker.callDerivedRestMethod(RestWorker.java:1009)", "at com.f5.rest.common.RestWorker.callRestMethodHandler(RestWorker.java:976)", "at com.f5.rest.common.RestServer.processQueuedRequests(RestServer.java:850)", "at com.f5.rest.common.RestServer.access$000(RestServer.java:43)", "at com.f5.rest.common.RestServer$1.run(RestServer.java:147)", "at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145)", "at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615)", "at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)\n" ], "restOperationId" : 8827, "code" : 404, "referer" : "4.3.2.1", "message" : "http://localhost:8100/mgmt/tm/ltm" }
