Solution 2: Specify a new BIG-IQ master key passphrase
Perform this task when a BIG-IQ system and a data collection device (DCD) fail to discover one another, and you do not 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.
When you don't know the BIG-IQ system's master key passphrase, you can perform the following task to restore both the BIG-IQ and DCD system configurations to their factory defaults and begin a new first-time setup procedure on each system. Once these setup procedures are 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 BIG-IQ 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...
- Log in to the BIG-IQ system user interface and follow the first-time setup procedure.During the master key step of the procedure, choose a new master-key passphrase, and store the passphrase in a safe place.
- Using a program such as PuTTY, open a console window on the DCD 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
- 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.
- From the user interface of the BIG-IQ system, rediscover the DCD system.
