What is 'LOGIN: Re-starting pvad'?

I'll try to address all your posts in one.

 

 

What is pvad? The GUI also shows that the failover state has become unknown.

 

Obviously I'm modifying something that the device is not too hapy with...

 

 

pvad is our packet velocity asic daemon that controls lower layer optimizations. Not sure why this is restarting.

 

 

The bigip.conf file looks OK, as does the bigip_base.conf file.

 

 

However, the GUI shows that most configuration changes weren't loaded?

 

 

Did you try a "bigstart shutdown", "bigstart startup", and then a "bigpipe load". If you get no errors at this point but it still won't initialize, then you might need to contact Product Support to further diagnose this issue.

 

 

After updating Joe's code as follows, my machine will come

 

to a grinding halt. Any suggestions are welcome at this point:

 

 

Define grinding halt. Does that mean that the CPU is pegged at 100%. Does that mean that configuration won't load? Does that mean that the box looks idle, but won't pass traffic. You'll need to be a bit more specific. I'll try to replicate your issue with your code, but it looks good to me at first glance.
