Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When loading a configuration, either through tmsh load sys config or the corresponding iControl REST command, the TMSH or icrd_child processes can leak memory.

Impact

The TMSH process memory or icrd_child process memory continues to grow every time the config is loaded.

Conditions

When configuration is loaded via TMSH or iControl REST.

Workaround

If memory consumption grows in the TMSH process, restart the TMSH process. If memory consumption grows in iControl REST, restart the REST service using the following command: bigstart restart restjavad.

Fix Information

There is no longer a memory leak when loading configuration in TMSH or iControl REST.
