Receiving several configuration synchronization (ConfigSync) requests, in a short period of time, may cause the mcpd process to exhaust memory resources, restart, and produce a core file. Note: The Automatic Sync feature can exacerbate this issue. The Automatic Sync feature is disabled by default. As a result of this issue, you may encounter one or more of the following symptoms: Performing a ConfigSync operation causes the BIG-IP system to experience a brief service interruption while the mcpd process restarts. If configured as part of a high availability (HA) group, the BIG-IP system fails over. The BIG-IP system generates an mcpd core file.
