Nimbostratusnamed daemon keeps restarting after upgrade to v11.6.1 hf2
hi everyone! not sure if any of you had this experience... so i'm upgrading hardware and firmware:

any idea to permanently fix it?

I think the root alone has the rw permissions set. And for groups and others, its null. Did you try that ? Also I see you have specified (LTM only) in your question. You dont have a GTM module, did you have GTM module in the 10.x (before upgrading) and used the same UCS now ?

it is in fact, permissions issue. we don't have a gtm module provisioned on this device. the orginal ucs had only read-only permissions. i was able to fix it by giving +rw permissions and regenerated a new ucs file.

Glad it fixed.
