Description:
Bug ID 844925: Command 'tmsh save /sys config' fails to save the configuration and hangs ... Symptoms ... The 'tmsh save /sys config' command hangs and fails to save the configuration if there is a memory allocation failure when creating the reply. ... Impact ... Because tmsh cannot save the configuration, if the BIG-IP system reboots, any changes made since the last successful save are lost. ... Workaround ... Run the command: tmsh save /sys config binary This does not save the configuration to files in /config, but it does at least allow you to save the binary configuration. ... That way, you can reboot the BIG-IP system and not lose the configuration. ... Note: It is possible that a reboot will provide sufficient memory to save to configuration files. ... It depends on the configuration of virtual memory at the time of the save. ... It is possible that every time you want to save the config, you must use the binary option. ... Fix Information
