F5OS Install/Upgrade, Velos
Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-C 1.1.2, F5OS-C 1.1.3, F5OS-C 1.1.4
Opened: Apr 06, 2021 Severity: 2-Critical
The system controller is unable to communicate with one or more of the running blades. The 'show cluster' command indicates a blade(s) is NotReady even though the blade is fully booted. The other system controller may show similar mis-reporting of blades, but on different blades. An assert in the switchd vendor SDK code is triggered if a 16MB allocation cannot be satisfied during switchd startup. SwitchD will not provide required switch configuration when this occurs resulting in a management port and chassis internal network outage.
The problem persists until the system controller on which the condition occurs is rebooted.
The problem can manifest any time SwitchD starts/restarts. It is most likely to manifest during installation or live update of the system controller software.
