Opened: Nov 14, 2023 Severity: 3-Major
- TMM cannot process traffic - Within '/var/log/tmm', there is the following log line rte_enic_pmd: Rq 0 Scatter rx mode not being used - 'tmctl -d blade tmm/xnet/dpdk/stats' stat table shows a large (several 10000) for 'mbuf_inuse' and 'frag_inuse', and 'mbuf_alloc_fail' is an extremely large count (in the scale of millions) and continuously increasing
Traffic disrupted as TMM is not able to receive nor send packets.
- TMM is using Xnet-DPDK drivers - BIG-IP is connected to a Cisco ENIC card In addition to the above, one or both of the following a) Only 1 RX queue available b) MTU <= 1920 By default, TMM will set MTU to 1500 for ENIC.
Both of following must be done: 1) Configure ENIC to have 2 or more RX queues available 2) Create a file '/config/tmm_init.tcl' containing the following line: ndal mtu 9000 1137:0043
Set TMM to default to MTU 9000 for ENIC
