Last Modified: Jul 10, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP LTM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
17.1.0, 17.1.0.1, 17.1.0.2, 17.1.0.3, 17.1.1, 17.1.1.1, 17.1.1.2, 17.1.1.3, 17.1.1.4, 17.1.2, 17.1.2.1, 17.1.2.2, 17.1.3, 17.1.3.1, 17.1.3.2, 17.5.0, 17.5.1, 17.5.1.2, 17.5.1.3, 17.5.1.4, 17.5.1.5, 17.5.1.6, 21.0.0, 21.0.0.1

Opened: Jun 30, 2026

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

TMM panics with 'unable to extend db' error messages.

Impact

TMM cannot start up

Conditions

This issue occurs when the fix for ID2033781 is applied, and very large configurations are present. Without this fix, TMM logs 'mco_db_extend failed' messages and ignores the configuration settings. It can also occur with moderately sized configurations, where TMM extends the database by the product of two configuration settings. For instance, this could happen with hundreds of bot-defence profiles and thousands of bot-defence signatures.
