Hi yue_zheng1 ,
Check quickly if there are core files generated recently, follow this article : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K10062
if you found any of core files , you must open a case with F5 Support to allow them review the core dump file and let you know the RCA for this issue, no one other than F5 Support can help you in Core files analysis.
By the way, I have reproduced this issue in my lab and as you said
errdfsd keeps restarting and mcpd takes most of CPU also I felt with some degradation overall.
It was solved by rebooting BIGIP, so I believe if you rebooted it this will free the CPU.
I don't see any other workarounds for this, but as I said you can reach out to F5 support team to know the RCA for this.
yue_zheng1hi :
My device is out of maintenance time and can't be rebooted for a while, I killall syslog-ng and restarted syslog-ng to free up the CPU usage of the mcpd service. But I can't do anything about the constant rebooting of errdfsd, but I found that bigstart stop errdefsd stopping the errdefsd service stops the cyclic reboot problem.Hi ,
I believe that you need to prepare rebooting your BIGIP.
I think when you used bigstart stop errdefsd this stops the restarting but still mcpd takes the most of CPU.
without errdefsd you have a problem in Logging.
