Opened: Mar 11, 2022 Severity: 3-Major
The BIG-IP r4k and r2k series-based systems cannot support ePVA feature by design. But there are flags related to ePVA, like `has_pva` and `pva_version` which are wrongly shown when ran query with `guishell` app for `platform`. Issue: ======= # guishell -c 'select has_pva,pva_version from platform' ------------------------- | HAS_PVA | PVA_VERSION | ------------------------- | true | 0 | ------------------------- 1 row 0.115s (mcpd: 0.003s, mcpj: 0.006s, hsql: 0.091s, conn: 0.005s, format: 0.007s) (rcv: 0Kb, 0.003s, snd: 38b, 0.000s) [root@localhost:NO LICENSE:Standalone] config #
Though the values for these ePVA fields are misleading it has no impact on the functionality as the underlying NIC Card used is Intel NIC card which cannot support ePVA feature on BIG-IP r4k and r2k systems. So, there is no impact on the functionality as ePVA not possible on r4k and r2k.
The ePVA feature flags, `has_pva` and `pva_version` in guishell are not correct on BIG-IP r4k and r2k systems as they cannot support this feature with this release.
None
The ePVA feature cannot be possible on BIG-IP r4k and r2k systems. So, no probable fix can be provided.
