Inherited status from link

Hello,

I'm encountering a strange issue with a Link Controller (v10.2.4 version).

Deployment : 2 links with 2 FAI (OBS & Colt)

One of the links failed. But a portion of the VS (gtm level) goes red, with the message "Inherited red from parent link COLT". However, this happened even if the defined link of the VS was the OBS one. When the link COLT failed :

This first log is logic : the link colt is down, so the pool member attached to the link Colt is marked down :

Apr 12 22:07:40 local/myLC alert gtmd[3897]: 011a6006:1: SNMP_TRAP: VS myVS_COLT (ip:port=publicIP_Colt:0) (Server myLC.net) state change green --> red (VS myVS_OBS: Inherited red from parent link COLT.)

However, here the pool member attached to the link OBS is marked down as well, for the same reason :

Apr 12 22:07:40 local/myLC alert gtmd[3897]: 011a6006:1: SNMP_TRAP: VS myVS_OBS (ip:port=publicIP_OBS:0) (Server myLC.net) state change green --> red (VS myVS_OBS: Inherited red from parent link COLT.)

And because the 2 pool members of my wideip are down (logic consequence) :

Apr 12 22:07:40 local/veg14lbfint alert gtmd[3897]: 011a1005:1: SNMP_TRAP: Pool myVS.fr state change green --> red (Pool myvs.fr: No enabled pool members available)

I don't see why myV_COLT is marked down :

   vs {
      name            myVS_COLT"
      address         publicIP_COLT:0 // any
      link "COLT"
   }
   vs {
      name            "myVS_OBS"
      address         publicIP_OBS:0 // any
      link "OBS"
   }
pool {
   name           "myVS"
   ttl            30
   preferred      rr
   fallback       null
   partition "Common"

   member         publicIP_COLT:0
   member         publicIP_OBS:0
}
wideip {
   name         "myWideIP"
   pool_lbmode  rr
   ipv6_noerror yes
   partition "Common"
   pool         "myVS"
}

Only a portion of the VS (lc level) are encountering this issue. But their configuration is exactly the same. On the LTM level, nothing special, all VIP were available during this time.

Any help on this ?

Thank you guys !
