Need help with "Re-Starting MCPD"

Hi everyone, I have a VE F5 edition running 11.4.1.. I just upgraded it to 11.6.0 HF8 and I am getting a lot of these lines: F5lb01 emerg logger: Re-starting mcpd F5lb01 emerg logger: Re-starting mcpd F5lb01 emerg logger: Re-starting mcpd

 

I have tried the following tmsh commands found on the following URLs:

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/-logger-re-starting-mcpd

 

bigstart restart mcpd

https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13030

 

touch /service/mcpd/forceload

 

reboot

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to restart the mcpd so I can get my F5 back up. I can connect utilizing the VE console and I can SSH into it with PuTTY, but the GUI is still counting down the reboot time.

 

Thank you for any help or direction...

 

Greg

  • you probably added some *** or such around them

     

    i would try an actual restart, if that doesn't clear up things you will need to share logs or perhaps better open a support ticket.
