Symptoms

On selected devices and blades, tmm runs multiple processes. When running multiple processes, the session DB may occasionally attempt an operation that will cause a tmm segfault.

Conditions

In order to experience this failure, tmm must be running in multiple processes on the appliance or on the blade, and session DB usage is required with mirroring.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Use of session DB on multi-process appliances and blades no longer cores when bringing up blades as well as bringing peers online.
