Hello anyone seeing this issue I upgraded as I have done many times before off the same version however going to a major version seems to have issues, has anyone done this?

I reactivated the license then each time I run the config it does the same thing & I have to reactivate it as well but none of the config is imported, my license is valid

 

  • Can you reactivate the license on the original 10.2.3 slot and then perform the upgrade. If the config load fails, you can run '/usr/libexec/bigpipe daol', resolve any config file issues and then run '/usr/libexec/bigpipe daol' again.

  • Thanks, I went through support for this as well and found that in version 11.x it actually attempts to validate some of the netmasks that may be in its configs in our case it was an improper netmask in a datagroup assoc w an irule
