Latest Proxmox update (see below contents of /var/log/apt/history.log) breaks working F5 BIG-IPs and stops licensing of new BIG-IPs.
To correct this, update the machine type to:
Setting to 7.2 gets everything back up and running. It appears the latest BIOS breaks BIG-IP reporting the machine type for licensing and stops chmand from starting correctly.
