F5OS-C 1.8.0
Opened: Nov 21, 2023 Severity: 3-Major
In VELOS v1.7.1, the system controller relies on the slot width of each blade in order to configure backplane port, as it is required for the blade to occupy the system controller blade slot. If the slot width is one, the system controller configures for Bx110 and if it is two, the configures Bx520. If the ConfD slot info is not available, the resulting backplane port configuration may be no suitable for the blade occupying the given slot.
Blade will fail to send /receive traffic over the backplane.
A Bx110 or Bx520 blade is present in the chassis.
This defect is addressed in 1.8.0 by changing chassis manager, so that it updates confD with slot info provided by platofmr-ha before processing other HA info that might result in an error which skips the processing of the slot info.
Blade backplane port link errors no longer observed when suitable slot info is present in system controller ConfD.
