Unable to save changes made in bigip_base.conf

Hello,

 

I'm running into problems trying to save changes made in the bigip_base.conf file. Using v11.5

 

My steps:

 

  1. make changes
  2. esc :wq - to save and quit
  3. tmsh load /sys config
  4. check bigip_base.conf file - changes are there
  5. tmsh save /sys config6. changes are gone.

The same changes and procedures to save in v11.3 were successful.

  • Hi Kevin,

     

    Thanks for your reply. I tried that yesterday as well but was unsuccessful.

     

    What I did to make the changes permanent was to copy the bigip_base.conf file, make changes on the copy and then replace the original with the copy. That was the only way I found to work.

     

    What was odd is that none of the other files that the same issues.
