Web interface showing "Starting web server" and CLI shows "logger: Re-starting mcpd" every 2 seconds after shutting down 13.1.0.5 Build 0.0.5 Virtual
I have an F5 LTM virtual machine loaded up on a GNS3 VM for a lab. The virtual machine is activated with interfaces/VLANs and a couple pools/VIPs and a policy. When I go to shut down the virtual, I am greeted with the web interface saying...
Starting web server
Please do not reboot your device. The device is starting services required for the communication with the configuration utility. This process takes approximately 1-2 minutes.and then it runs for 30+ minutes.
Logging in to the console with the root account results in endless
logger: Re-starting mcpd
I have tried...
- touch /service/mcpd/forceload
- Forcing a file system check on the next system reboot
I should also note that the CLI shows that the LTM is INOPERATIVE so I cannot issue TMSH commands. This issue has happened to me earlier in the week and I just decided to install it as a new VM but I do not want to have to do that every time I need to shut down my host. The lab is only temporary and for testing so I just need to make sure things work but I do not want to have to keep the virtual machine running when I am done for the day in order to keep this machine working. I should also mention this is just a trial license. Any help would be much appreciated.
