Hi all I have an odd problem. There is a virtual machine (BigIP VE) with version 13.1.3.x with enough ressources (RAM, CPU, disk) which crashes when I try to upload an ISO for upgrading using SCP/SSH (not the WebGUI!). When I start the upload it takes a moment (it ranges from 10 to 35% progress) the VE crashes either completly or starts to act strangely (not login possible anymore, but the traffic is still running). I have to power off the VM and then power it on again to actually remedy the issue. We will have an extensive testing with the ESX team and checking the VE itself, but preliminary checks don't show any issues with storage (ESX wise or internally VE, there is enough space) or ressources (like CPU, RAM, etc.). There is a second VM with the same statistics and same version, just another location and another ESX farm, but that one doesn't have an issue. Beside the fact we certainly need to check more in depth with ESX, anyone an idea what I could check on the F5 side what might cause this? Thanks a lot488Views0likes2CommentsiRule logging [LB::server pool] crashes tmm on 11.4.1 HF3
F5 support suggested I post on DevCentral to ask if selecting a pool in the Client_Accepted event would mark that pool active (yes) and if making this selection so early in the process I am able to "override" the default pool configured for a virtual server (as far as I can tell, yes). Instead of posting the question to DevCentral I thought I should just write a rule and test with some log messages. I found out I was right, but I also found out the rule I was using to test crashed tmm on 11.4.1 HF3 three times in a row. This did not happen in my DR environment which is on 11.6.0 HF3. Basically, the rule and procs just log which pool is selected multiple times between events and function calls. I suspect there must be some difference in how [LB::server pool] is being used between versions. It seems like I have experienced a ton of odd behavior while working with my LTMs. In the messages below there appears to be a time difference between the log message from the rule and the emerg logger messages. This was not the case in reality. I was monitoring the ltm log for my test messages with tail -f ltm | grep TEST and issuing a request I knew would trigger the rule execution. I saw my first log statement as expected and immediately the emerg logger statements were injected into my console. Has someone else experienced this? Does anyone know what causes this? Do I have to upgrade my production units to 11.6.0 HF3 to fix this?
