Solution 1: Specify the BIG-IQ passphrase on the DCD
Use this procedure when a BIG-IQ system and a data collection device (DCD) fail to discover one another, but you know the passphrase for the BIG-IP system's master key. A discovery operation fails if the master keys of the BIG-IQ system and the DCD system don't match.
To resolve the discovery failure, you can restore the DCD system configuration to the factory default and begin a new first-time setup procedure. During DCD setup, you specify the same master key passphrase that's on the BIG-IQ system. Once the procedure is completed, you can attempt the discovery operation again.
- Using a program such as PuTTY, open a console window on the BIG-IQ system.
- Log in to the system.
- At the system prompt, reset the DCD system configuration to the default by typing this command:clear-rest-storage -d -l
- If you see the messageMember of an HA pair. Use, type this command:ha_resetbefore trying to clear storageha_resetlocal discovery addressYou can ignore the messageError: error doing query...
- Repeat step 3.
- Obtain the BIG-IQ system master key passphrase for the next step.
- Log in to the DCD system user interface and follow the first-time setup procedure.During the master key step of the first-time setup procedure, ensure that you type the BIG-IQ system master key passphrase.
- Log in to the BIG-IQ system user interface and rediscover the DCD system.
