On large APM configurations (1000 Policies and a large number of Customization groups) mcpd gets killed before it can complete validation. The limit of customization group object that the BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) can load is approximately 13 KB.
Unable to load configuration.
Large number of policies (thousands) and customization objects (tens of thousands).
Turn off watchdog for mcpd via tmsh using the following command: tmsh modify sys daemon-ha mcpd heartbeat disabled Important! Remember to re-enable tmsh watchdog after the config loads successfully. To do so, run the following command: tmsh modify sys daemon-ha mcpd heartbeat enabled
Large APM configurations no longer cause mcpd restart, so configurations load as expected.
