Problem upgrading from v11.2.4 to v11.6.0

I have lost a couple of partitions and lots traffic objects. When I ran "/usr/libexec/bigpipe daol", I got the following error:

 

"Loading the configuration ... BIGpipe unknown operation error: 01070630:3: The requested data group file (/config/filestore/.stage_d/1_d/Common_d/data_group_d/:Common:vlanMapping.dat_49354_1) was not found or empty)."

 

Now, if I run "ls -al /config/filestore/.stage_d", I get:

 

ls: /config/filestore/.stage_d: No such file or directory

 

What can I do to get out of this?

 

Any help is appreciated.

    is it possible to manually comment the data group (/config/bigpipe/bigip.conf) and load the configuration (/usr/libexec/bigpipe daol) again? then add the data group back later.

    Load the config from tmsh by hand. E.g.

    load sys config

    Or from bash

    tmsh load sys config

    And check for errors. I suspect you have something else in the config that it doesn't like

    I have resolved the issue with the following steps:

     

    1. I tried to load the ucs file from the old v11.2.4 using tmsh:

    tmsh load /sys ucs /var/tmp/v10orig.ucs.tar.gz no-license

     

    (Note: My ucs files does not contain the latest license. Lesson: Always save a ucs file after re-activating the license.)

     

    This will give more detailed output as to where the problem is. Then I untar the ucs file in that directory:

     

    mkdir /var/tmp/my_conf; cp /var/tmp/v10orig.ucs.tar.gz /var/tmp/my_conf; cd /var/tmp/my_conf/; gzip -dc v10orig.ucs.tar.gz |tar xvf -

     

    Then I edited and commented out each of the problematic parts in config/bigip.conf or other files.

     

    Then I re-tar the directory:

     

    rm v10orig.ucs.tar.gz; tar -zcvf v10confmodified.ucs *

     

    and load the new ucs file again. Repeat this process until it is clear (need to remove the ucs file that has an error in it before tar-up of the dir each time.) Take note of the warnings so that you fix the issues later on. Then I get:

     

    "Post-processing... Reloading License and configuration - this may take a few minutes... Full configuration has been loaded successfully."

     

    Bingo!
