Symptoms

Provisioning mgmt plane to "large" and performing a config sync, might cause an outage on the peer unit. When provision.extramb is synced to the peer unit, mprov is called, which restarts tmm.

Impact

TMM restarts on the peer unit. Traffic halted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

-- Configure two devices in a sync group. -- tmsh modify sys db provision.extramb value 150. -- Sync to peer unit.

Workaround

Ensure that the provision.extramb value is the same on all units in the device cluster before performing a config sync.

Fix Information

The provision.extramb and provision.tomcat.extramb DB keys no longer ConfigSync, which prevents TMM restarting on peer devices after a change is made to the management subsystem provisioning and then performing a ConfigSync.

Behavior Change

The provision.extramb and provision.tomcat.extramb DB keys no longer ConfigSync between devices.
