Fixed In:

Opened: Jan 10, 2017

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

The cluster member's blade-specific mgmt ip is not modified you run tmsh modify sys management-ip <ipaddr/netmask>.

Impact

Although the command is successful, the cluster does not use this management IP, and the blade-specific management IP is unchanged.

Conditions

This occurs when trying to change the management IP using tmsh modify sys management-ip <ipaddr/netmask> on a blade.

Workaround

Modify the blade-specific address of a cluster-member only through the sys cluster component. The correct command is tmsh modify sys cluster default members { <blade_number> { address <desired ipv4 addr> }}

Fix Information

A configuration error message is emitted which instructs the user to use the sys cluster component to modify the blade-specific address of a cluster-member.

Behavior Change

Administrators can no longer manually create a sys management-ip on any clustered BIG-IP Platform through the admin_ip object. Administrators are now guided to use the sys cluster component.
