Rest API 11.4.1 HF2 will no longer add icrd

Has anyone else run into the following issue when trying to enable icrd for the rest API in 11.4.1 HF2?

 

(tmos) modify sys service icrd add

    If anyone else runs into this issue it is a tracked bug (support got back to me on it).. to fix:

     

    bigstart add icrd or bigstart add --default icrd (to start at boot) and then bigstart start icrd.

    Did you try what I recommended above? bigstart add icrd OR bigstart add --default icrd (to start at boot)? This did work for me on 11.4.1 HF2.

    bigstart add --default icrd

     

    bigstart start icrd

     

    bigstart add icrd

      Does not work. We are running BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 635.7 Engineering Hotfix HF2 (applied to fix a TMM memory leak issue). I get the following every time I try to start icrd: Can't open scim/run at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/daemon.pm line 448.

      Same error using bigstart add icrd "Can't open scim/run at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/daemon.pm line 448." No error when using bigstart start icrd, but the REST API returns an error. BIG-IP 11.4.1 build 635.14 Engineering Hotfix HF2 (AWS BYOL AMI)

    I had the same issue, including: 

    Can't open scim/run at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/daemon.pm line 448.

    Here's what I did to fix the issue:

    touch /etc/bigstart/scripts/scim
bigstart add --default icrd
bigstart enable icrd
bigstart start icrd

    Additionally, I had an LTM that wouldn't start the service. I found that the 

    run
    script was missing. (It appears bigstart uses daemontools for services.) Upon running 
    bigstart status icrd
    if received this message:

    icrd run (pid 16233) 0 seconds, 1 start, 634 restarts

    The cause was a missing 

    /service/icrd/run
    script. Fix this problem with: 

    ln -s /etc/bigstart/scripts/icrd /service/icrd/run

    That seems to be a fix to get icrd running... but certainly on at least 1 of my vCMP guests, I don't get the expected outputs...

     

    For example.. stats.. The REST user guide says take the URL for (As an example) a pool. And add '/stats' to the end... To get the equivalent of 'show ltm pool ...' instead of list...

     

    but I just get 400's... Complaining about unexpected ////stats....
