The mcpd configuration errors on secondary blades of a VIPRION platform may disrupt data plane functionality. As a result of this issue, you may encounter the following symptom: The system logs messages in the /var/log/ltm file that appear similar to the following example: -- err mcpd[7624]: 01070935:3: Unexpected exception caught in MCPProcessor::rm_DBLowHighWide(). -- err bcm56xxd[5081]: 012c0010:3: Error trunk <trunk_name> on unit 0 does not exist bsx.c(2429).
VLAN and trunk members are not programmed correctly, resulting in disrupted traffic flow. If a trunk has members spanning multiple blades, and if the trunk hashing algorithm selects a member port on a secondary blade for a given traffic flow, that traffic flow will be disrupted.
This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met: -- The mcpd process is restarted on a secondary blade of a VIPRION platform. -- The mcpd process receives an error when attempting to load the configuration. For example: err mcpd[7624]: 010717b5:3: HA group (HA) cannot be removed. It is used by traffic group (/Common/traffic-group-1 ).
None.
The system now handles these conditions so that the issue no longer occurs.
