    BIG-IQ references can be manually removed from BIG-IP so that BIG-IP no longer reports that it is managed by BIG-IQ. This is accomplished by clearing REST storage on BIG-IP.

     

    On most BIG-IP versions supported by BIG-IQ, this can be accomplished via the clear-rest-storage command.

Apparently, there appears to be a bug with the newest F5 BIGIP 12.1.3.2 and F5 BIGIQ 5.4.0.2. Namely, if you change the IP address of the F5 BIGIQ and rediscover, the 'Managed by BigIQ' information, such as the MGMT interface of the BIGIQ instance does not get updated. Of course, clear-rest-storage removes the notice, but it does not return during a subsequent re-import of the F5 BIGIP into BIGIQ. Very unstable behaviour for this feature.
