Symptoms

If a virtual server's ip-protocol is not set, then some changes to the list of attached profiles may cause a validation error on secondary blades. This will cause those blades to restart.

Impact

mcpd will restart on secondary blades. This will cause most other daemons on those blades to restart as well, including the TMM. Traffic will be lost.

Conditions

This may happen in some cases when changing the list of profiles attached to a virtual server, but does not happen if 'ip-protocol' was explicitly set by the user.

Workaround

You should explicitly set the ip-protocol when changing the profiles of a virtual server. Then this bug will not occur.

Fix Information

If a virtual server's ip-protocol was not set, then some changes to the list of attached profiles would cause a validation error on secondary blades. This would cause those blades to restart. This issue has been fixed.
