Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

APMD continue to restart with a denied message. The following errors are logged in /var/log/apm: 01490000:5: ha_util.cpp func: "getTgInfoByVAddrName()" line: 292 Msg: MCP query failed (error 0x1020036) 01490000:3: DeviceHA.cpp func: "checkApmTrafficGroup()" line: 35 Msg: high availability (HA) util returns err 3 01490000:3: ApmD.cpp func: "main_loop()" line: 851 Msg: Check APM traffic group failed

Impact

Apmd goes into a restart loop. Access traffic disrupted while apmd restarts.

Conditions
