Fixed In:

Opened: May 23, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

If the level of ltm monitor inheritance (defaults-from) is too large, i.e 9. then mcpd will fail to send sod a heartbeat within the heartbeat timeout; therefore sod will restart mcpd.

Impact

mcpd is restarted which will cause services to failover.

Conditions

LTM monitors that have 9 levels of inheritance i.e. mon1 defaults from mon2, which defaults from mon3, which defaults from mon4 ... to mon10

Workaround

Rework the ltm monitors so that the level of inheritance is less than 9.

Fix Information

None
