Symptoms

LSN configured in PBA mode can cause tmm to core if a connection needs to obtain resources from a remote tmm process. This occurs most frequently during heavy load or when there is a small translation space(low number of translation addresses) configured on the PBA lsnpool.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

- LSN with PBA mode configured. - udp_gtm_dns profile configured on the virtual server handling traffic. - Heavy traffic or small translation space.

Workaround

Remove udp_gtm_dns profile from the virtual server, and replace it with fast L4.

Fix Information

LSN pool configured with PBA mode no longer crashes with heavy load and udp_gtm_dns profile configured.
