iRules modified and saved with iRule editor revert after BIG-IP reboot

It's not a config sync that is being issued. The iControl call for save_configuration() issues a "bigpipe config save" command. If you can issue this from the console successfully, then there has to be something with the permissions of the admin account you are using.

 

 

Here is an iControl script that you can copy and run on your BIG-IP that issues the same iControl method call that the editor is using. Copy this to your bigip and issue the following command

 

 

$ perl saveConfiguration.pl localhost 443 username password

 

 

You should get the same error message that is displayed within the editor. If you get the message "Configuration successfully saved" then the call worked (which it shouldn't). Just make sure you are using the same account that you are from the iRule Editor.

 

 

If this command fails, then I'd suggest you try to create a new user account and see if that one works. If you are still having troubles after this, I'd suggest you contact F5 Product Technical support as this is an iControl permissions issue that will have to be addressed with a code fix.
