Fixed In:
14.1.0, 13.1.3.5

Opened: May 23, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When creating new widgets, they are created under the currently set partition. If the partition is '[All]' (not a real partition), this name will be used to create the widgets. In newer version of BIG-IP software (v13.x or later), there is validation that disallows using non-existent partitions. When upgrading configurations that contain the '[All]' designation on the widgets, the operation fails because of those objects that have the invalid partition.

Impact

Upgrade to v13.x or later fails.

Conditions

Using BIG-IP software v11.x (or similar) to create widgets while in the read-only '[All]' pseudo-partition.

Workaround

Manually edit the configuration files and change '[All]' to 'Common', after which the upgrade should succeed.

Fix Information

It is no longer possible to create widgets while not in an actual writeable partition.
