F5 rebooting continuously-need help

We have powered up a Big-IP 2000 - 113 platform device in our DC. Assigned the management IP and route, licensed and provisioned it - assumed that we are good proceed further. But then, it started rebooting.. Its rebooting once in every 10 - 15 minutes. I have no clue why a box behaving so weird.

Most of the times, this logs were repeating..

Aug 10 05:07:03 F5-LTM1 notice overdog[5658]: 01140104:5: Watchdog touch disabled.
Aug 10 05:07:03 F5-LTM1 info overdog[5658]: 01140101:6: Overdog daemon shutdown.

Here is the logs I could find on the device. (I have removed few unwanted logs)

  • Try doing a full box reboot. Are you seeing any error message on the F5 front panel ? You are better off opening up a case for quicker resolution.

     

  • is this a cluster? it seems to indicate that HA is seeing issues and restart because it is configured as such.

     

  • if it is HA then bring down the HA link and try to reboot the system in stand alone mode.
