I attach a PowerShell script that you can use to disable all the rules in the F5 Management Pack (Set-F5MPRules.ps1). Here're the steps that I recommend following, by using this script:
1. If you have an override management pack where the F5 Management Pack rules are defined, make a backup of the related XML file. Normally this file would be located in the SCOM installation folder. In the following sections I will refer to the override management pack by "OverrideMP", which would be the SCOM Id of the override management pack, but if you have one, you should use the actual name (ID) of the override management pack
2. Copy the attached file (Set-F5MPRules.ps1) to an arbitrary folder, preferably on the SCOM Root Management Server.
3. Open the Operations Manager Shell (e.g. the SCOM PowerShell command prompt) and execute the Set-F5MPRules.ps1 script by invoking the following command:
. \Set-F5MPRules.ps1 "OverrideMP" $false
where
OverrideMP = the ID of the override management pack where your existing F5 Management Pack rule overrides are defined. If you don't have any F5 Management Pack rule overrides defined, you can choose to name the override management pack to anything you like.
$false = will override all the F5 Management Pack rules to be disabled (collection rules and threshold rules).
Both parameters are mandatory.
You should be getting an output similar to the capture attached to this post. The script will process first the F5 Management Pack rule overrides, if any, which should run pretty fast. Then it would process the default rules enabled in the F5 Management Pack, and will override them to being disabled. This could take a bit longer. Once you're done with running the script, you can run the "Refresh F5 Collection Rules" and "Refresh F5 Threshold Rules" tasks, and see if the big3d bouncing problem goes away. Eventually, you can revert your override management pack to the initial one (that you made a backup of), to get your initial F5 Management Pack rule state back.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Julian
