Opened: Jun 06, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

In order to diagnose crypto queue stuck errors, the timeout value for stuck crypto accelerator queues may now be adjusted using the crypto.queue.timeout DB variable. The timeout value may be specified in milliseconds using the crypto.queue.timeout DB variable. The default value is 100 milliseconds.

Impact

Adjusting the queue timeout may help in certain configurations where SSL acceleration is the performance bottleneck.

Conditions

This is only needed if you are getting errors in /var/log/ltm with this signature: crit tmm1[9829]: 01010025:2: Device error: crypto codec qa-crypto0-1 queue is stuck.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

The crypto accelerator queue timeout may now be specified in milliseconds using the crypto.queue.timeout DB variable.
