    Ok, i have found a solution on this.

    It seems that my esxi is not delivering amount of memory I asked for.

     

    I reduced the memory per VM and now everything seems to work correctly.

     

    Thanks !

Hi Fouad,

did you pick the OVA and loaded it into your ESXi ? and checked compatibilty with your ESXi version ?

and when you start the VE from the OVA, be sure to not upgrade the ovftools inside your VE.

    Hi Philipe,

     

    Yes the ESXI is compatible with my version of F5 LTM, and I did not upgraded the ovftools in my VM.

    The broadcast are happening right after the boot.

     

    If I try to get the mac adress from my interface with this command :

     

    tmsh list net interface

     

    The broadcast message start for sure every time ...

     

    Best Regards,

      Hi again,

       

      I checked the file /var/log/tmm and I have this error message all over the file

       

      <13> Jan 28 08:11:10 node-02 notice map_tmm_memory: set_mempolicy 0 node 0x0 failed 22 (Invalid argument)

       

      Hmm seems to be a memory problem ....
