"Configuration problem" when setting up a trial LTM VM

I have downloaded the 90 day trial version of LTM VE and am having trouble configuring it. I have installed it on an ESXi server and run 'config' to set up a static IP address for the management int...

    Unexpected Error: Configuration cannot be saved unless mcpd is in the running phase. Save was canceled. See "show sys mcp" and "show sys service". If "show sys service" indicates that mcpd is in the run state, but "show sys mcp" is not in phase running, issue the command "load sys config" to further diagnose the problem.

     

    mcpd is not running, so you have to fix loading configuration first. then you will be able to save configuration.

     

    01070307:3: Invalid interface 1.2 Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.

     

    you may have to manually edit /config/bigip_base.conf (fix interface 1.2 issue) and try to load configuration again.

     

    by the way, i think it may be easier to create a new VE. :)

run 'config' to set up a static IP address for the management interface. However this is not persistent - if I reboot the VM the IP address gets forgotten and I have to re-enter it.

 

can you try to run "tmsh save sys config" before rebooting?

 

The configuration has not yet loaded. If this message persists, it may indicate a configuration problem.

 

can you try to run "tmsh load sys config"? what is the error message?

 

I thought I had selected the latest version to download. How do I check what version I have?

 

i think Hamish means you download production VE and contact F5 SE for 30 days evaluation license. :)
