Symptoms
Single NIC BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) devices configured in a trust domain (e.g., in high availability (HA)) cannot reload a running configuration when restarted and/or when mcpd fails to load the config, and reports a validation error:
err mcpd[25194]: 0107146f:3: Self-device config sync address cannot reference the non-existent Self IP ([IP ADDR]); Create it in the /Common folder first.
Impact
The mcpd process fails to start, and the configuration does not load.
Conditions
Single NIC VE devices configured in a trust domain (e.g., HA)
Workaround
Manually copy and paste the self IP configuration snippet into the /config/bigip_base.conf file:
1. Connect to the CLI.
2. Edit bigip_base.conf, and add the following:
net self self_1nic {
address 10.0.0.1/24
allow-service {
default
}
traffic-group traffic-group-local-only
vlan internal
}
Note: replace 10.0.0.1 with the IP indicated in the error message
3. Save the changes and exit.
4. Load the configuration using the command:
tmsh load sys config
5. If APM or ASM is provisioned/configured, then also restart services with this command:
bigstart restart
