-- The iControl REST commands respond with the following: [INFO] Text: u'{"code":200,"message":"REST system unavailable due to disk corruption! See /var/log/restjavad.*.log for errors.","restOperationId":1472895,"kind":":resterrorresponse"}' -- The GUI indicates that iAppLX sub-system is unresponsive. -- On the BIG-IP device, /var/config/rest/storage/LOST-STORAGE.txt exists.

Impact

The iControl REST system is unavailable.

Conditions
