BIGIQ add device fails

A good place to start would be to check what's in the restjavad logs ?

tailf /var/log/restjavad.0.log

Hi Donamato,

I had looked through the restjavad.0.log and notice the following:

[/shared/device-discovery-tasks DeviceDiscoveryTaskCollectionWorker] Discover device x.x.x.x in group cm-bigip-allBigIpDevices

[/shared/device-discovery-tasks DeviceDiscoveryTaskCollectionWorker] The address provided (x.x.x.x) does not match the configured discovery address (1.1.1.1) on this device.

Any clues on what does that mean ?

What IP are you using to discover the F5 device ? management or self IP ?

Might be a long shot but this might be worth checking out?

Checking if the local host discovery has been successful could be interesting to see.

K14593: BIG-IQ localhost discovery is required before performing remote device discovery

• How did you try to discover the BIG-IP devices? Using Management or Self-IP?
• Is it a completely new device or is restored from an RMA?
• What version of BIG-IQ are you running?
