Opened: Sep 12, 2014 Severity: 3-Major
There is a race condition when the daemons startup where stpd is coming up before bcm56xxd. The stpd daemon tries to use bcm56xxd before it has started. You see the following in /var/log/ltm: err stpd[8241]: 01290003:3: HalmsgTerminalImpl_::sendMessage() Unable to send to any BCM56XXD address
Several error messages appear in the ltm log: Feb 9 15:06:23 localhost err stpd[9390]: 01290003:3: HalmsgTerminalImpl_::sendMessage() Unable to send to any BCM56XXD address Feb 9 15:06:23 localhost err stpd[9390]: 01280012:3: HAL packet request sendMessage failed (slot 0)
Affects switch based platforms that use bcm56xxd.
None
The startup of stpd daemon is now dependent on bcm56xxd being in the running state.
