Symptoms

When upgrading, monitor attributes such as receive string and send string might contain escape sequences that must be processed after the upgrade. However, due to a problem introduced by the LTM policy upgrade script, this processing is not performed, resulting in monitors not functioning correctly after the upgrade. Note: Without LTM policies in the configuration, monitors upgrade without problem.

Impact

Monitors may not work after upgrade.

Conditions

-- Upgrading and rolling forward monitor configuration data. -- LTM policy data present.

Workaround

No workaround at this time.

Fix Information

This release addresses the underlying problem so the issue no longer occurs.
