"general database error retrieving information" when clicking on LTM>Pools

Hello guys,

 

I have a trouble when I was configuring a new service in a F5 LTM 11.5.1. When I clicked on LTM>Pools (in the GUI) I got the message: general database error retrieving information. Has someone gotten this error while managing a BIG IP of such version? Since F5 BIG IP offers module and audit logs, how can I get some logs about this crash?

 

Hope you could help me.

 

Thanks in advance.

    it generally suggests that a configuration file is corrupt/unparseable. If you have a backup of your configuration, restore it and start again. Otherwise, you may have to fiddle with the bigip.conf file until you find where the problem is and correct it.

     

  • Hello friends,

     

    Thanks a lot for answering.

     

    I have had lot of issues with this version. This issue has had the less impact due to I just open the GUI after a period of time and from another browser. The issue has not appeared since such date. But, I supposed I have to be ready when it appears again. Thanks a lot for the information.

     

    Thanks

    Workaround (11.5.1 HF7, and probably others):

     

    bigstart restart httpd tomcat

     

    (But definitely still call and report a case.)

     

  • Please be aware this is also happening in 11.5.2 Hotfix 1. I have opened a case as well, but re-sorting the Nodes does correct this issue.

      Where and how did you resort the nodes?
