Opened: Nov 21, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Single NIC BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) devices configured in a trust domain (e.g., in high availability (HA)) cannot reload a running configuration when restarted and/or when mcpd fails to load the config, and reports a validation error: err mcpd[25194]: 0107146f:3: Self-device config sync address cannot reference the non-existent Self IP ([IP ADDR]); Create it in the /Common folder first.

Impact

The mcpd process fails to start, and the configuration does not load.

Conditions

Single NIC VE devices configured in a trust domain (e.g., HA)

Workaround

Manually copy and paste the self IP configuration snippet into the /config/bigip_base.conf file: 1. Connect to the CLI. 2. Edit bigip_base.conf, and add the following: net self self_1nic { address 10.0.0.1/24 allow-service { default } traffic-group traffic-group-local-only vlan internal } Note: replace 10.0.0.1 with the IP indicated in the error message 3. Save the changes and exit. 4. Load the configuration using the command: tmsh load sys config 5. If APM or ASM is provisioned/configured, then also restart services with this command: bigstart restart
