Symptoms
-- UCS archive restore fails
-- The Traffic Management Shell (TMSH) and/or /var/log/ltm file show following error message:
01071769:3: Decryption of the field (privatekey) for object (9717) failed. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.
Impact
-- The UCS configuration is not applied.
-- The BIG-IP is not in a fully operational state.
Conditions
- Restoring configuration from UCS.
- The UCS is being restored on a different BIG-IP system with a different master key.
Workaround
If you encounter this error and dynad is not in use (dynamic debug) you can manually edit bigip_base.conf.
1. Locate the dynad config in /config/bigip_base.conf file:
For example, the dynad config will look like:
sys dynad key {
key $M$jV$VX7HMp5q346nsTYDYFPnYdJLrBPyQSCrDTJYAz4je7KXJAC38fxtDJL35KtF66bq
}
2. Modify the dynad configuration lines to:
sys dynad key {
key "test"
}
3, Save the updated bigip_base.conf file
4. Load the configuration with command:
tmsh load sys config
Fix Information
The log message is improved to provide the BIG-IP administrator with more specific detail that the dynad key failed to be decrypted.
