Clearing the LCD and the Alarm LED remotely

Description

In some cases, you may want to remotely clear LCD warnings and the Alarm LED.
Performing this action may prevent onsite personnel from discovering and reporting an old warning, or having to teach the onsite personnel how to clear the LCD.

You can use the lcdwarn command line utility to control the LCD and the Alarm LED.
To display its usage, run the lcdwarn command without any arguments.

Note: You cannot view LCD warnings and Alarm LED messages remotely. To ensure that the alerts do not reappear, F5 recommends that you monitor the BIG-IP log files after you clear the LCD warnings or Alarm LED.
