Bug ID 556252: sysGlobalTmmStatTmUsageRatio5s and sysGlobalTmmStatNpus in chassis

Last Modified: Apr 28, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP All(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
11.5.4, 11.5.4 HF1

Fixed In:
11.5.4 HF2

Opened: Nov 04, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The sysGlobalTmmStatTmUsageRatio5s and sysGlobalTmmStatNpus OIDs read lower than expected given the traffic on the system. The values suddenly increase when a non-running blade is powered down.

Impact

Misleading, confusing statistics

Conditions

This occurs on a chassis where one or more of the blades are not in the cluster, but are not powered down. The usage ratios and Npus stats treat the blades as if they are in the cluster, and are factored into the calculation, making them appear lower than they actually are because non-working blades are in the calculation.

Workaround

You can completely power down the blade and it will be removed from the statistics calculation.

Fix Information

sysGlobalTmmStatTmUsageRatio5s and sysGlobalTmmStatNpus are now calculated only against running blades.
