Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos
Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-C 1.6.2
Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.8.0
Opened: Mar 08, 2024 Severity: 3-Major
The "ifcfg" TMSTAT table on VELOS blades displays an incorrect state for a blade internal link between FPGAs. The "av.1" link is shown as DOWN regardless of its actual state. This link carries tenant traffic on VELOS blades and its operating state may be relevant when performing diagnostics.
This issue may incorrectly indicate a breakage in a blade's datapath when there is actually none.
The issue is seen on all VELOS blades running a F5OS version that does not have the fix.
It is possible to view the correct link state with a lower-level debugging command. From the Linux CLI of a VELOS blade, run the following command to get the current state of the blade's data links. [root@blade-4 ~]# docker exec partition_fpga fpgatool -c "linkscan show"
Corrected a configuration field in fpgamgr code that updates link status.
