The dynamic pool member load-balancing modes require a precision measurement of active connection counts and/or rates. Rare, intermittent system instability has been observed in dynamic pool member selection when a new connection arrives. TMM may restart, leaving a core file.
TMM restarts and leaves a core file. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
LTM pool configured to use a dynamic load-balancing mode ('ltm pool NAME load-balancing-mode MODE' where MODE is one of the dynamic load-balancing modes, such as dynamic-ratio-member, least-connections-node, predictive-node, etc.). The dynamic modes use the session database to share data among all TMM instances, and under extremely rare conditions, the session database may become unreliable.
None.
The dynamic load-balancing modes are now more tolerant of errors from the underlying session database.
