    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. :)

    I followed your advice and created a new VE from scratch. I had to get a new license key, but once I did that it worked ok. Thanks to everyone for their help.
