CirrusHi SanYang ,
try to run this Command :
tmsh show sys tmm-trafficTo see how is the traffic distributed accross TMMs instances
This Article will help you : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K36483224
- if you found uneven balancing throught tTMM instances , maybe you will need something Like ( F5 DAG ) to adjust this traffic ditribution , For DAG please have a look in this : https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-service-provider-generic-message-administration-13-0-0/5.html
you can configure it on vlans ( GUI or CLI ).
- If you define the correct DAG , you shouldn't see that one of TMM instances CPU is 100 % , Correct DAG value protects your from Context-swiching ( which means one of your TMM is 100% so it couldn't handle the data traffic for clients so this leads to redirect connrctions to another TMM or drop it , also if TMM is fully utilized it may request more resources to handle this high pressure on it whereas the other TMMs not handle this quantity of data traffic )
This is from my perspective , but I want to know the updates till reach the optimal value of TMM CPU maybe I am not fully correct, so I will keep the attention for this thread here 🙂
CirrusHi Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh ,
It seems to be evenly distributed.

Connections Redirected 0Hi SanYang,
As I don't see errors in passing traffic and somehow balanced traffic for all TMM instances ( maybe only TMM0.10 handles high connections so it's CPU is +60% ) but over all TMMs CPU is within 20%.
So this is an indication of that TMM0 represents the Total CPU & memory usage in your blade and because you have till 24 tmm instances it gave you 100 % as this is a high number of TMMs.
This is Clarified in this Article : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K02895424
Now , you should keen on in the overall CPU & memory usage as average between all TMMs cores.
If you go to ( Statistics >>> Performance reports >>> Chech the CPU & memory graphs )
Also adjust time range ( Last 3 hours then Last week , then last month )
I'm sure you will find the overall Cpu is consistent following the same trend for all other graphs , I mean you will find the overall/average CPU for the ( last month/week/day/hours ) not high or reached to 100%
Do u know if you found this overall CPU reached to 100 % your box will failover immediately.
So I need you to check that performance report and let me know if my analysis is correct or not.
Thanks
CirrusHi Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh ,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the charts.
CPU0 has been running at 100% for a while now...
