Opened: Jun 25, 2015

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

TMM crashes on the standby unit.

Impact

TMM restarts, and the standby is not available for failover. When the standby unit comes back up it does not have the mirrored flows from the active unit, so failover results in loss of those connection flows.

Conditions

This is a standby-only failure. Connection mirroring on a OneConnect virtual server can lead to a TMM crash during connection establishment.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Connection mirroring on a OneConnect virtual server now successfully recovers from a TMM crash during connection establishment, so no mirrored connection flows are lost.
