Bug ID 1359277: ConfD CLI timed out and subsequently sees Error: application communication failure

Last Modified: Oct 21, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS-A, F5OS-C(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS-A 1.8.0, F5OS-A 1.7.0

Opened: Sep 26, 2023

Severity: 1-Blocking

Symptoms

CLI times out if the respective action is not completed within the specified time interval.

Impact

Unable to perform ConfD action.

Conditions

The action to perform takes more time than the specified timeout interval.

Workaround

The respective container can be restarted or a system reboot can be performed.

Fix Information

When there is a timeout event, the CLI disconnects from handler and is not able to connect with handler again to perform subsequent actions. A fix has been implemented to reconnect successfully in case of a timeout event. This prevents application communication failure error. You might still see a timeout when the system is busy but you will still be able to perform required actions a few minutes/seconds later.
