Persistence profile not working...

I've run into an interesting problem. As part of my code to

 

configure a BigIP, I (at times) use a cookie persistence. So,

 

my code creates a profile with LocalLB/ProfilePersistence, with

 

a mode of PERSISTENCE_MODE_COOKIE. Then I apply this profile

 

to my Virtual Server. So far so good.

 

 

However, the profile does not seem to be applied to the virtual

 

server, UNLESS I reboot the box. THEN it all works.

 

 

Is there something I'm missing?

    That is exactly the opposite of what I would think should happen. Unless you issue a System::ConfigSync::save_configuration(), the configuration should not be persisted across reboots. And, if you make the call to apply it to the virtual, it should show up in the GUI immediately.

     

     

    If this persists, I would suggest you contact Tech Support as this is a system issue.

    Sorry that I did not make it clear that I do save the

     

    config as part of the build process.

     

     

    So, it working after a reboot is not that surprising. But why does

     

    the profile not do anything?

     

     

    Some things I tried from the GUI:

     

     

    - switch to built-in cookie profile -> works

     

    - switch back to built-in cookie profile -> works

     

     

    The bigip.config file looks as expected. It just seems the profile

     

    does not get applied in memory.
