When you upgrade BIG-IQ, the /var/config/rest/config/restjavad.properties.json file previously existing on the BIG-IQ is carried forward in the UCS archive and is preserved following the upgrade. The restjavad.properties.json file in the ISO is not deployed to the BIG-IQ. The intended use of the restjavad.properties.json file was solely for the BIG-IQ customers to optionally set customized values that overwrite some of the default application properties values. During some of the past releases prior to 7.1, some vendor (F5)-defined default property values were accidentally included in the ISO file. Any new property value that was added to the restjavad.properties.json file in a particular version will not exist on the BIG-IQ following an upgrade to that version.
Any new property value that was added to the restjavad.properties.json file in a particular version will not exist on the BIG-IQ following an upgrade to that version. Note: This only affects upgrades, not new installs. The restjavad.properties.json file on a newly installed BIG-IQ will have the same content as the file in the ISO.
Upgrade the BIG-IQ version 5.1 through, and including, version 7.1.0.
Following an upgrade: 1. Retrieve the restjavad.properties.json file from the ISO. 2. Apply (add or replace) to it any custom settings you previously configured. 3. Replace that file as the /var/config/rest/config/restjavad.properties.json file on the BIG-IQ.
