Hi,

 

 

It looks like 'self' isn't recognized as a host on your unit. bigip_add expects an IP address or resolve-able hostname. You could use localhost or 127.0.0.1.

 

 

Out of curiosity, why are you running bigip_add against the local unit?

 

 

Also, the title of your post mentions a general database error. I assume you're seeing this in the GUI when trying to access a configuration section. Which section is that? What are the errors logged in /var/log/webui.log when you get the error?
