Opened: Oct 12, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The TMM is continually restarted due to lack of the HSB PDE device. When this issue occurs, HSB errors may be present in the TMM log files, prior to a TMM core (SIGSEGV).

Impact

TMM continually restarts until the unit is rebooted. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts. The reboot appears to clear the condition.

Conditions

The conditions under which this occurs are unknown.

Workaround

Manually reboot the unit.

Fix Information

The TMM restarts no longer occur.
