The MCPD daemon on secondary VIPRION or vCMP blades exits and restarts, logging errors similar to the following: -- err mcpd[11869]: 01070734:3: Configuration error: Node name /group1/5.5.5.5 encodes IP address 5.5.5.5%18 which differs from supplied address field 5.5.5.5. -- err mcpd[11869]: 01070734:3: Configuration error: Configuration from primary failed validation: 01070734:3: Configuration error: Node name /group1/5.5.5.5 encodes IP address 5.5.5.5%18 which differs from supplied address field 5.5.5.5... failed validation with error 17237812.

If the system is Active, traffic is disrupted as the secondary blades restart. The capacity of the system will be reduced until all blades are on-line again. Additionally, depending on the system configuration, the system may fail over to its peer (if one exists).
This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met: -- VIPRION or vCMP platform with more than one blade. -- A partition with a non-default route domain. -- Either: + Creating a pool member in that partition while a configuration save is taking place at the same time (either system- or user-initiated). + Modifying a route in that partition while a configuration save is taking place at the same time (either system- or user-initiated).
There is no workaround other than not to create pool members or modify routes from one client while saving configuration changes in another client. However, this does not help if the configuration save operation was system-initiated.
MCPD on secondary blades no longer restarts if a pool member is created or a route is modified in a partition that uses a non-default route domain at the same as the configuration is being saved.
