adding bigip VM to BIgiq is throwing this exception

Hi, I am trying to discover the bigip LTE VM from BIGIQ VM GUI. I am getting the following exception and I am not sure why. [I][2585][15 Jun 2015 23:52:22 UTC][8100/shared/device-discovery-tasks...

A common cause for this issue is duplicate /config/f5-rest-device-id files on multiple BIG-IP devices. This can happen if you have created your devices by cloning the VE or restoring a UCS file from another device. This solution covers this issue: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/15000/900/sol15938.html

You should now have a new f5-rest-device-id file. Retry the discovery.
