CirrocumulusRe-activate license spins... and spins... and spins...
It used to be quite quick. But I've noticed that as the versions increase it seems to get slower and slower to get from the license re-activate to the list of license keys to generate a dossier...
Today I had the unit telling me 'Bad gateway' as it tried to talk to a proxy (For some reason). The URI is
https:///tmui/Control/jspmap/tmui/system/licensing/keys.jsp?license_wizard=false
which takes 3.2 minutes to eventually return... It LOOKS like BigIP is trying to connet to the automatic license activation server (activate.f5.com) as /var/log/ltm was stating
Aug 9 11:05:19 bigdv1 debug find-activate: lookup of activate.f5.com returned 65.61.115.202
Aug 9 11:26:21 bigdv1 debug find-activate: external lookup selected
Annoying... When it's just the pause, it's frustrating (I know I don't like sitting for minutes waiting for a screen to popup). When it's a big long pause and a failure, it's just plain annoying...
Just trolling to see if anyone else has noticed this? If you don't get it, does you unit have access to talk to activate.f5.com? If you do pause, do you see your units trying to access f5.com at your firewall and getting blocked?
