Hi Glen, here are some more things to try:
1) Back up and remove the files from C:\Windows\System32\F5MP, then try the discovery again.
2) If that does not fix the problem, it would help if you could send a couple log files from the BigIp that you are attempting to discover:
/var/log/ltm
/var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log
If you want to just post the last few entries that would be fine using the comment "tail /var/log/ltm"
3) Since the problem is with uploading the new big3d agent, a workaround is to manually upload the agent. This may also help in diagnosing the issue.
Download PSCP (secure copy) to the RMS: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Log into the BigIP and run these commands:
cd /usr/sbin
big3d -v (this will show you your current big3d version)
bigstart stop big3d
rm -f big3d
Now copy the agent from the RMS using this command:
pscp -pw password "C:\Program Files\F5 Networks\Management Pack\Agent\big3d" root@192.168.165.17:/usr/sbin
Next, run these commands on the BigIp (from /usr/sbin)
chmod a+x big3d
big3d -v (should show the updated big3d version)
bigstart start big3d
Thanks,
Joel Hendrickson
