Symptoms

TMM core on HTTP response with steering action.

Impact

TMM cores trying to steer the existing connection. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

HTTP profile is not attached to a PEM virtual server receiving the HTTP response. In this case, on receiving a connection request from the client, the BIG-IP system establishes server-side connection without waiting for the HTTP request from the client. Meanwhile, a steering policy got installed. The server responds with an HTTP request timeout message.

Workaround

To avoid this issue, attach an HTTP profile to the PEM virtual server.

Fix Information

TMM no longer cores on HTTP response with steering action.
