AFM 11.6.0 HF5 error after virtual rename

I have a pair of VE (BEST) in HA, that I'm using to test version 11.6.0 HF5, pending their use in a new datacenter we are setting up

The system has LTM, AFM, ASM and APM provisioned at 'nominal'

The current configuration has no policies in both ASM and AFM, I'm still testing LTM & APM.

Then I did the following:

root@(myhost01)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) modify /sys db mcpd.mvenabled value true
root@(myhost01)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) save sys config
Saving running configuration...
  /config/bigip.conf
  /config/bigip_base.conf
  /config/bigip_user.conf
Saving Ethernet mapping...done
root@(myhost01)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) mv ltm virtual ZSVR_TEST_SECURE_10443 VSVR_TEST_APM
root@(myhost01)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) Jul 16 18:33:03 myhost01 emerg pccd[12228]: 015d0000:0: Transaction failed.

root@(myhost01)(cfg-sync Changes Pending)(FIREWALL UPDATE FAILED)(/Common)(tmos)

OOPS! Apparently the AFM broke.

I can return it back to green by issuing the command:

restart sys service pccd

But I don't know if this error can have consequences for future operations...

I know the rename function is in 'early access' mode, so little or no support can be expected, but do you think I need to reset the config from scratch?

Thanks,

Angelo.

    I looked at the LTM log and found the following (for every attempt at rename): Thu Jul 16 18:33:03 CEST 2015emergmyhost01pccd[12228]015d0000Transaction failed.

    mcpd is reporting errors for me with the same text and I am not using AFM; only APM and LTM.

    I'm guessing you should not use that move command then. Instead, tear down the VIP and build it again using the new name.

    Seeing this a lot in 12.1.2 on both members of HA pair. There seems to be little understanding of what causes this.
