Opened: Mar 09, 2018 Severity: 3-Major
- An "load sys config default" is reported in /var/log/ltm that wasn't initiated by the user manually. This can break password based SSH connectivity as the default config load wipes out the MCPD configuration.
User could lose the BIG-IP configuration.
- BIG-IP is running in Azure. - A mis-configuration in MCPD on-disk config in /config/*.conf files that fails "load sys config" during the startup. - The broken configuration stays that way for more than an hour. If the "load sys config" failure isn't corrected for an hour, the azure-init vadc startup script loads the default config to correct the problem, thus wiping out user configuration.
- If user has access to the BIG-IP, they should try to fix the "load sys config" failure manually by modifying the mcpd configuration in /config/*.conf files. This would prevent the eventual "load sys config default". - If user doesn't have access to the BIG-IP, there isn't really a workaround for this issue.
