When the system is configured to use network HSM for FIPS crypto services, all FIPS-related traffic will cease to function after the tmm daemon gets restarted, and does not recover until a restart of both pkcs11d and tmm, or a reboot of the unit.
Traffic that relies on the network HSM for crypto services fails and does not recover.
-- System is configured for network HSM for FIPS crypto services. -- tmm gets restarted.
Restart both pkcs11d and tmm by issuing the following command: On a standard BIG-IP appliance: bigstart restart pkcs11d tmm On a VIPRION system: clsh bigstart restart pkcs11d tmm
Traffic that relies on the network HSM for FIPS crypto services now recovers as expected when tmm is restarted.
