Symptoms

During the active to standby to transition while passing traffic, tmm crashes.

Impact

tmm crashes on the standby, then restarts. If other traffic groups are active on the newly-standby unit, they will be disrupted.

Conditions

This might occur when the following conditions are met: -- The transition from active to standby occurs. -- There exists an active SCTP association which has already been torn down on the clientside. -- The serverside is still attempting to establish an association to a nonresponsive pool member at the moment that the transition occurs.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The tmm crash no longer occurs under the described conditions.
