Symptoms

Eight-second delays occur on traffic through an SSL connection mirroring virtual server, and errors occur on the standby device: crit tmm7[11598]: 01010025:2: Device error: crypto codec Couldn't create an OpenSSL EC group object OpenSSL error:0906D06C:PEM err tmm7[11598]: 01010282:3: Crypto codec error: sw_crypto-7 Couldn't initialize the elliptic curve parameters. crit tmm7[11598]: 01010025:2: Device error: crypto codec No codec available to initialize request context.
