Symptoms

A configuration update fails when the system cannot find the item to update. Configuration failures are shown in bd.log.

Impact

The update fails and the entity is not added.

Conditions

The condition that leads to this scenario is not clear and is still under investigation.

Workaround

Delete the faulty entity and re-add, and then issue the following command: restart asm. This fixes the issue in the cases in which it is a single entity.

Fix Information

A configuration update no longer fails when the system cannot find the item to update. Now, the system adds the item with its updated value if the entity does not already exist. Otherwise, the operation updates the value of the existing entry.
