F5 LTM 3900 WEB GUI --Extremely Slow.....SOS~~

Recently,I found a set of F5 ltm 3900's WEB GUI is Extremely Slow,sometimes no response,but virtul servers work fine. Its loading seems always under 30%. Now I can't do any management work. I have tried to restart httpd,but it's not work....Why the problem can happen ? PLZ tell me another way to fix it.

 

PS: Its version is BIG-IP 11.3.0 Build 3138.0 Hotfix HF7

    Are you using enterprise manager or some other HTTP/iControl based management tool?

    Assuming that you're not doing something sub-optimal (like using a management tool which creates a lot of keep-alive connections and leaves them idle), and there are no memory leaks that eventually slow the device down (latest hotfix will help), then you can raise the maximum allowed connections to management GUI like so:

    tmsh modify sys httpd max-clients 20

    The default is 10, and 20 is generally safe, and should be sufficient. Going higher than that will require evaluating your use case and available device resources, especially RAM.

      I believe there is hotfix 9 for 11.3 out, you should probably read the release notes and plan an upgrade. By the way, if you want the change in max-clients to be permanent, you need to "tmsh save sys config"
