Opened: Apr 26, 2021

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Clustered high availability (HA) devices cannot establish ConfigSync connection, and the prompt status reports disconnected. MCPD is logging a message similar to this repeatedly, even though all TMMs are up and running: err mcpd[4247]: 0107142f:3: Can't connect to CMI peer 192.0.2.1, TMM outbound listener not yet created

Impact

BIG-IP devices are not able to perform ConfigSync operations.

Conditions

This can occur under either of the following conditions: -- Some provisioning operations (i.e. provisioning APM), when TMM restarts during the provisioning. This has primarily been seen with BIG-IP instances running in Google Cloud. -- Changing the license of a BIG-IP VE when the new license changes the number of TMM instances that will run on the BIG-IP (i.e. upgrading from a 1Gbps to 3Gbps VE license)

Workaround

Restart MCPD on the affected system. Note: This will disrupt traffic while system services restart.
