"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. :)

Hi Dave

 

I got the same issue but with 1.1; while running the command tmsh load sys config I got Invalid interface 1.2 and I tried a lot of things, and I found that while editing the "Preferences" values on the "Edit" Menu for my VirtualBox VM on GNS3 it had a value of "1" adapter, so then after changing it up to 3 (depending in how many you need, but I needed just 3) it worked. And just as an extra I setup all the VM interfaces to be "Host-Only adapters" and using the Virtual Box Host-only adapter, then on GNS3 I just bridged those interfaces to my physical NIC and my loopback adapter for connectivity.

 

I hope it works for you.
