Transparent enforcement by hostname has been moved from the Host Name configuration to the Microservice configuration. REST API Clients that use the backwards-compatible, old endpoint, and send multiple requests in parallel may encounter a deadlock when configuring this element.
Configuration calls fail due to internal DB deadlocks
1) REST API Clients configure policy enforcement transparency by hostname. 2) They use the backwards-compatible, old endpoint to do so. 3) Multiple requests are sent in parallel. Note: This is the case for BIG-IQ managing the BIG-IP system and configuring multiple domain names.
Retry the API calls (or BIG-IQ deployment)
Deadlocks during configuration calls are retried automatically and do not interrupt deployments.
