Bug ID 2034889: Blade interface presence/stats are getting wiped because of bad power event during system controller failover

Last Modified: Oct 19, 2025

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

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-C 1.8.1

Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.8.2

Opened: Aug 19, 2025

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

After inserting a blade in the chassis, the blade interface state may be wiped out on the next system controller failover. Interfaces will be shown as "NOT_PRESENT" even though the blade is present and running. default-1# show interfaces interface state oper-status NAME OPER STATUS -------------------- 1/1.0 DOWN 1/2.0 DOWN 2/1.0 NOT_PRESENT 2/2.0 NOT_PRESENT 3/1.0 DOWN 3/2.0 DOWN

Impact

After the controller failover, the incorrect 'power off' event causes the partition software to erase the blade dataplane state, resulting in the blade dataplane being inoperative.

Conditions

Physically inserting a blade in the chassis, followed by a controller failover after the blade finishes booting.

Workaround

To avoid the issue: After inserting a blade in the chassis, cause a controller failover and then reboot the blade. To recover if the problem is encountered: Reboot the blade.

Fix Information

Inaccurate power events are not generated during system controller failover.
