Symptoms

The vCMP guest TMM crashes soon after startup.

Impact

vCMP guests running older versions of the software might crash. Blades continuously crash and restart. Traffic cannot pass. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

-- You are using BIG-IP software versions 12.1.0-12.1.2. -- vCMP guests are deployed in a chassis. -- You configure a new guest running unaffected software alongside an existing or new guest running affected software. In other words, the issue occurs if you mix guests running affected and non-affected versions in a single vCMP host.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information
