/var/log/ltm spew after forced failover

Hi all,

I have a pair of BIG-IP LTM 1500's in active/standby. I just forced the active unit into standby to perform maint. on it, and now the newly "promoted" unit is spewing log entries into /var/log/ltm every second.

2 questions:

1. Why?

2. How do I disable it?

Thanks,

    The error indicates the two units cannot establish a TCP connection with each other using the failover IP addresses. If one unit is still staying standby, I'd guess you're using serial cable failover. Try checking SOL6065 for a fix:

     

     

    SOL6065: Error message: HA Connection with peer lost
