Device Discover fails
I am trying to add a pair of BIG-IP in F5 MP I installed today but unable to success Device Discover regardless performing big3d install. My BIG-IP is 10.0 and F5MP is downloaded today.
...
Thanks -- this problem is due to a change that we thought was introduced in version 10.0.1 of BIG-IP, but was actually introduced in version 10.0.0.
A fix will be in the next version of the MP, but I can give you a workaround if you are comfortable executing a SQL script in your SQL server. Here is the process:
1) Stop the "F5 Monitoring Service" service on the RMS (or the management server(s) if you have a distributed opsmgr installation)
2) Open SQL Server Management Studio
3) Connect to the same SQL server that you used during installation of the management pack
4) Expand the Databases list on the left and click on the "F5_ManagementPack" database
5) Click on the "New Query" button in the top left
6) In the query window, paste in the following command:
UPDATE StaticDefs.MonitorState SET MinimumVersion = '10.0.0' WHERE MinimumVersion = '10.0.1'
7) Execute the query by clicking the 'Execute' button or using the Ctrl+E shortcut. The bottom pane may show "(13 row(s) affected)".
8) Start the F5 Monitoring Service, wait a few moments, and then try discovery again
