On a High capacity chassis system that is running at extreme load conditions with HA pair configuration, it is observed that occasionally a failover may happen due to an internal SessionDB malfunctioning. The system is handling about 40k+ connections in this state and is seen seldomly. This may lead to a TMM restart due to the ABORT situation due to looking up problems with sessionDB

Impact

Unintended failover happens and may lead to slight Performance degradation and TMM restart

Conditions

Running at extreme load conditons and handling 40k+ connections

Workaround

The system will recover by itself after reboot. But it may cause a disturbance to client traffic for a short duration while failover happens or TMM restart.
