Error Login Page ""This BIG-IP system has encountered a configuration problem that may prevent the Configuration utility from functioning p

Hi F5 Team,

 

Can you help us for this Login Page Error:

 

"This BIG-IP system has encountered a configuration problem that may prevent the Configuration utility from functioning properly.

 

To prevent adverse effects on the system, F5 Networks recommends that you restrict your use of the Configuration utility to critical tasks only until the problem is resolved. Beware that attempting to modify your configuration in this state with the Configuration utility may cause your configuration to be overwritten."

 

Regards,

 

Goldz

    Ive actually come across this a couple of times on my own implementation on version 12 build 1.0.628. No idea what is causing it frankly and I cant seem to replicate it at will. Are you running the same build Godz?

      We used version 11.6. Can you check your hard disk space?

      Heaps. 75 GB remaining. It's essentially a brand new VE implementation.

    Hi Bogyi,

     

    You are in folder /config. you have to go to / and then you should see /service. Also, did you licensed you F5 LB.

     

    touch /service/mcpd/forceload and reboot

    I was a able to clear this error with a simple:

     

    bigstart restart tomcat

     

    From the bash prompt

    I found a couple of ways to fix this. Reboot, or restarting mcpd, but that is needlessly intrusive. Alternatively, you can "bigstart restart tomcat" from the bash prompt.

    I had issues with connections to mgmt GUI dropping with a similar error until I unchecked the box "Require A Consistent Inbound IP For The Entire Web Session" in System/Preferences. I believe my connection to the mgmt GUI was toggling between my wired and wireless connections. The default action with the box checked was dropping my connection.
