Requested rule not found - when doing tmsh load sys config

I am having a problem where I am receiving 'The requested rule (redacted rule) was not found.' when loading a config by tmsh, or when ever trying to create any new iApp instances from the GUI.

 

The rule mentioned was deleted previously, but I can't find any trace of it now that would be causing this issue - I've tried searching using grep/find from SSH, and creating a UCS backup file and searching that. The rule doesn't exist and there isn't anything visible that references it. Very frustrating!

    Any chance you have another partition that might have a copy or referenced? The configuration for partitions other then common are in /config/partitions/partiton_name/bigip.conf

     

    Otherwise I would double check /config/bigip.conf, as it is most likely referenced somewhere in the file.

      Sadly no luck - don't have any other permissions and checked the conf file again. Wish there was a way to see exactly where the load process is failing.

    'load sys config verify' should help determine which file is failing during load. Should also see a configuration or configuration reference in the file that will fail during load.

      Still no luck. I created a new iApp deployment of a blank template with the same name as the 'missing' one - it let me create it. I added manually an empty rule with the same name as the 'missing' one and then it errored out on a few more - added those and it all seems to work. Not ideal situation but at least will let me continue at this moment.
