Unable to use locks and sync

The solutions posted to the forums for re-configuring the web server to run the iControl Portal as multiple processes is not endorsed by F5. There are known issues with modifying the configuration from it's default settings and this is one of them. The pseudo-locking implemented with the SystemInfo Locking methods is done in-process within the iControl Portal. When the configuration is changed to create multiple running portals, there is no longer a single process managing the locks so unfortunately if you opt to change the Apache configuration, this is going to break the locking mechanism.

 

 

Another side-effect is that Partition management is done in-process as well. So if you are configuring Administrative Partitions, then the methods of setting the partitions will likely not work as you are not certain as to which server process you will be attaching to on your requests.

 

 

The config sync timeout issues should be brought through support and the problem should be addressed by product development.
