Links to More Info: BT968657

Component: REST Framework and TMOS Platform

Symptoms:

Conditions:
Search filter in Applications -> Application Deployments works when searched with existing column values but does not work when searched with values other than those mentioned in columns.

Impact:
Using the global search, the global records are not listed.

Workaround:
Execute the following steps:

1. Change /usr to read/write:
#mount -o remount,rw /usr
2. Change to the directory:
#cd /usr/share/rest/tokumon/config/modules
3. Make a copy of global.js:
#cp global.js global.js.orig
4. Edit global.js using nano,vi, etc
5. Under "mappings"."properties"."_value", add the following line json element/object
    ,"body": {
        "enabled": false
    }

6. Save and quit
7. Force tokumon to delete and rebuild all indices:
#bigstart kill tokumond

NOTE: If tokumon begins restarting constantly, there is a likely syntax error in the changes made in step 5. Stop tokumond (bigstart stop tokumond) and repeat step 5 to find the error. If the problem persists, revert the file to the copy made in step 3.
#cp global.js.orig global.js
#bigstart kill tokumond

Component: REST Framework and TMOS Platform

Symptoms:
When BIG-IQ is in a high availability (HA) configuration and the active BIG-IQ device cannot communicate with the standby BIG-IQ device, the active BIG-IQ accumulates data in the /var disk partition, which eventually reaches 100% capacity, causing a disruption in services.

Conditions:
This happens when the active BIG-IQ device cannot communicate with the standby device for an extended period of time.

Impact:
Services do not function correctly.

Workaround:
Before taking a standby BIG-IQ system offline, change the active BIG-IQ device to standalone.
