Opened: Mar 19, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

In the unlikely event that HSB drops off the PCI bus, TMM continuously restarts until the BIG-IP system is rebooted.

Impact

Repeated TMM restarts. Traffic disrupted until you reboot the BIG-IP system. The HSB reappears and is functional after reboot.

Conditions

The conditions under which the issue occurs are unknown, but it is a rarely occurring issue.

Workaround

Manually reboot the BIG-IP system.

Fix Information

TMM no longer gets stuck in a restart loop, as a reboot is now automatic in this scenario.
