Failover event detected.... not sure why

Can anyone shed some light on the following logs:

 

We have two LTMs in a HA config. Not sure if the devices are actually failing over or not....

    Hi there,

     

     

    Can you get the logs from your units?

     

     

    There's a point in the logs that local/LB003 went to standby, but I have to check your logs and configs to see if i twas the original standby or active unit.

     

     

    I'm also concern that the "HA reports tmm NOT ready.", can you check /var/core if there's any core file?

     

     

    Once you have the sn of the unit, can you open a ticket by sending an email to support@f5.com

     

     

    Send the following too:

     

    File: Standard qkview output

     

    Command to Generate: qkview

     

    Location of Output file: /var/tmp/$HOSTNAME.tgz

     

     

    Files: Host log tarball

     

    Command to Generate: tar zcvf /var/tmp/$HOSTNAME-logs.tar.gz /var/log/*

     

    Location of Output file: /var/tmp/$HOSTNAME-logs.tar.gz

    I know this is an old thread but we just had a fail over with the same symptoms on a HA pair of 11050s running 11.5.1 hot fix 4, did you ever find out what the root cause was?

    Hi, i had the exact same logs, and there was a failover. The logs start with "HA reports tmm NOT ready." line. I'm running an HA pair on 11.5.1 HF7. There are a couple of core files created. Would appreciate any light on this.

     

    Thank you.

    Have you looked into if your switch is not flapping? looks like you might be monitoring your bcm56xxd[4993] port and it could be flapping.

    I have a 4200 pair in active-standby and had the same problem a few times after to upgrade from 11.4 to 11.5. After 11.6 HF4 that problem didn't appear anymore until today, and I'm using 11.6.0 HF4... I'm really trying to understand what happened this time... but I just know one thing, i really bored with this...

    Hello, same here.

     

    I have a Big-IP 2000 pair in active-standby running latest 11.6.0 HF5, and run into the same issue for several days. Mostly in the afternoon, supposedly when there are more users connected to it (around 50), it does the following: ltm:Aug 27 15:06:00 ssl-vpn-p notice sod[8619]: 01140045:5: HA reports tmm NOT ready. ltm:Aug 27 15:18:02 ssl-vpn-p notice sod[8619]: 01140045:5: HA reports tmm NOT ready. ltm:Aug 27 15:30:32 ssl-vpn-p notice sod[8619]: 01140045:5: HA reports tmm NOT ready. ltm:Aug 27 15:41:54 ssl-vpn-p notice sod[8619]: 01140045:5: HA reports tmm NOT ready. ltm:Aug 27 15:53:23 ssl-vpn-p notice sod[8619]: 01140045:5: HA reports tmm NOT ready.

     

    Seems like a regression on the fix: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/15000/700/sol15713.html Will try to disable the TCP Segmentation Offload, but I don't like that... F5, please help!
