Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

A virtual server configured in a partition other than Common references a traffic matching criteria (TMC) configured with "destination-port-inline" in partition Common, this case load of configuration fails with below error. 01070726:3: Traffic Matching Criteria /Common/tmc1 in partition Common cannot reference traffic_matching_criteria_port_update /Common/tmc1 9150 9150 0 in partition MyPart

Impact

Load of configuration is failing with below error. 01070726:3: Traffic Matching Criteria /Common/tmc1 in partition Common cannot reference traffic_matching_criteria_port_update /Common/tmc1 9150 9150 0 in partition MyPart

Conditions

A virtual server in a partition other than Common references a TMC configured with "destination-port-inline" in partition Common.

Workaround

Configure a new TMC objects (traffic-matching-criteria) in the same partitions as the virtual servers that reference them. Then update the virtual server traffic-matching-criteria setting to reference the new TMC object in the same partition.
