Opened: Dec 13, 2016

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

A config load failure can be caused by changing the mgmt shared settings api-status availability settings.

Impact

tmsh load sys config fails.

Conditions

This might occur in the following configuration: (tmos)# list mgmt shared settings api-status availability deprecatedApiAllowed { deprecatedApiAllowed true } (tmos)# list ltm profile fastl4 fastl4_1 [api-status-warning] ltm/profile/fastl4, properties : deprecated : software-syn-cookie ltm profile fastl4 fastl4_1 { app-service none software-syn-cookie enabled } tmos)# list ltm virtual my_vs ltm virtual my_vs { destination 0.0.0.0:any mask any profiles { dos { } fastl4_1 { } } source 0.0.0.0/0 translate-address disabled translate-port disabled vs-index 4 } (tmos)# save sys config Saving running configuration... /config/bigip.conf /config/bigip_base.conf /config/bigip_user.conf Saving Ethernet mapping...done (tmos)# modify mgmt shared settings api-status availability deprecatedApiAllowed false (tmos)# q (tmos)# load sys config ... 01020036:3: The requested profile (/Common/fastl4_1) was not found. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed. Changing the mgmt:shared:settings:api-status:availability:deprecatedApiAllowed to false, makes the validation more restrictive. This causes the prior saved configuration fail to load. Note: ltm profile fastl4 and ltm virtual my_vs are for illustrative purposes only. The same issue can occur for other elements with deprecated apiStatus.

Workaround

To have subsequent tmsh load sys config operations succeed, run the following commands: #tmsh modify mgmt shared settings api-status availability deprecatedApiAllowed true #tmsh save sys config
