Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When the parking command is used inside clientside or serverside, tmm crashes.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

Parking command, e.g. table command, is used inside clientside or serverside command.

Workaround

Move the parking command outside clientside or serverside command.

Fix Information

Parking command can run inside clientside and serverside. The client side connection must exist when clientside command runs; the server side connection must exist when serverside command runs; otherwise the clientside and serverside commands fail.

Behavior Change

clientside and serverside command error out if client side or server side connection does not exist at the time the command runs. Here is an example of where this might occur: clientside { SSL::disable }. This script fails if the client side connection does not exist. To work correctly, change the script to: SSL::disable clientside.
