Opened: Sep 15, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

After TMM crashes and restarts, in-TMM monitors do not run. Monitored pool members are down.

Impact

Monitored pool members are offline.

Conditions

-- In-TMM monitors are enabled. -- TMM exits abnormally, as a result of one of the following: + TMM crashing and restarting + TMM being sent a termination signal (i.e. using 'pkill' to kill TMM) Note: This issue does not occur if TMM is restarted using 'bigstart' or 'tmsh sys service'.

Workaround

One of the following: 1. Do not use in-TMM monitors. 2. After TMM restarts, manually restart bigd: tmsh restart sys service bigd 3. Add an entry to /config/user_alert.conf such as the following, so that the system restarts bigd when TMM starts up. On an appliance or single-slot vCMP guest/tenant: alert id1046917 "Tmm ready - links up." { exec command="bigstart restart bigd" } On a VIPRION or multi-slot vCMP guest/tenant: alert id1046917 "Tmm ready - links up." { exec command="clsh --color=all bigstart restart bigd" } Note: This change must be made separately on each device in a ConfigSync device group.
