ltm log contains multiple instances of the following message on VIPRION B4450 blades: warning: HSBe2 XLMAC initial recovery failed after 11 retries.
No operation impact. This is a cosmetic message that you can safely ignore.
This often happens when VIPRION 4480 or 4800 chassis with B4450 blades is rebooting.
None needed. This message is cosmetic only.
A more robust XLMAC recovery mechanism has been implemented which reduces the maximum retries to four. It does not completely eliminate this warning message (HSBe2 XLMAC initial recovery failed after 11 retries), but its frequency is greatly reduced.
