AltocumulusThanks for your swift reply Mohamed!
yes we're going to raise a support request with f5 to look into this for us. I also tried upgrading to v16.1.3.2 and it did the same thing there too.
Its good to know that f5 can turn around hot fixes for specific user issues though, theres hope for us yet 🙂
I hope you get ride of this issue soon.
But I think it is not recommended to perform a major upgrades without a clear reason , the most stable versions V14 and V15 as well I intend the latest release in each one , and as a employee in an integrator Company almost all of our customers appliances running on V14 or V16.
GoodLuck
