    Hi Mayur,

     

    Thanks for reply. I have been through this article.

     

    But still issue with F5, its in Inoperative mode , GUI stuck in configuration utility restarting. I did all

    possible troubleshooting but no luck. Its BIG-IP 4000 and on 11.6 version.

     

    Regards,

    Raqs

      you performed all the steps from the K article?

       

      do you get anything on the CLI?

       

      what does the /var/log/ltm say?

      It says that mcpd is stopped and when we try to start it, then again same error message.

      the log probably says more, there usually is a reason why something doesn't work.

       

      i also would advise contacting support, they can access your system (remote session) and quickly determine an issue. for us that is more difficult.
