Symptoms

-- UCS archive restore fails -- The Traffic Management Shell (TMSH) and/or /var/log/ltm file show following error message: 01071769:3: Decryption of the field (privatekey) for object (9717) failed. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.

Impact

-- The UCS configuration is not applied. -- The BIG-IP is not in a fully operational state.

Conditions

- Restoring configuration from UCS. - The UCS is being restored on a different BIG-IP system with a different master key.

Workaround

If you encounter this error and dynad is not in use (dynamic debug) you can manually edit bigip_base.conf. 1. Locate the dynad config in /config/bigip_base.conf file: For example, the dynad config will look like: sys dynad key { key $M$jV$VX7HMp5q346nsTYDYFPnYdJLrBPyQSCrDTJYAz4je7KXJAC38fxtDJL35KtF66bq } 2. Modify the dynad configuration lines to: sys dynad key { key "test" } 3, Save the updated bigip_base.conf file 4. Load the configuration with command: tmsh load sys config

Fix Information

The log message is improved to provide the BIG-IP administrator with more specific detail that the dynad key failed to be decrypted.
