Symptoms

Qkview may crash or hang. You might see this error message in /var/log/ltm: err mcpd[8003]: 0107134e:3: Failed while making snapshot: (Failed to link files existing(/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/...

Impact

You will be unable to generate a qkview file for support.

Conditions

Changing large configurations while running qkview or missing files from the /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/external_monitor_d directory can cause qkview to crash or hang.

Workaround

Make sure any iControl scripts that are making changes are allowed to complete. If you deleted any external monitor files from /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d, restore the external-monitor file and re-run qkview.

Fix Information

The system now handles running qkview while creating 20,000 or more pools or removing an external monitor from the /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/external_monitor_d directory, so these conditions no longer cause qkview crash or hang issues.
