Opened: Dec 12, 2024

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When changing the license for an iSeries appliance from a Throttled (lower performance) license to an Unthrottled (higher performance) license, the corresponding expected FPGA type and Turboflex profile may not be automatically applied. Upon rebooting, the Turboflex profile may updated to match the requirements of the license, but the FPGA type may not be updated.

Impact

The FPGA type and Turboflex profile in use may not be the correct/desired/expected type for the intended usage.

Conditions

This may occur when: -- Upgrading the performance license an iSeries appliance (for example, from an i7600 to an i7800 license) -- AFM is provisioned, requiring a turboflex-security Turboflex profile This does not occur when: -- Downgrading the performance license an iSeries appliance (for example, from an i7800 to an i7600 license) -- AFM is not provisioned

Workaround

To apply the correct FPGA type and Turboflex profile after a licensing change: -- Save the configuration (tmsh save sys config) -- Reboot the appliance
