TCP Probe failure on CSM

paul.matthews
Level 5
Level 5

I have had a customer raise an issue with me. Unfortunately I am not too hot on the CSM.

Switch Type - Cisco WS-C6513

IOS VSN - 12.2(18)SXF4

CSM Module details

Card Type - SLB Application Processor Module

Model - WS-X6066-SLB-APC

Hardware VSN - 1.8

Software VSN - 4.2(5)

I have spotted bug CSCsc38892, but cannot tell if the catakyst is running VRF - this is all the info I have been given.

We have 6500 chassis each with a CSM module in fault tolerance (ft) mode.

The current standby module (at the time it was the active one) reports as per output below that probes failed:

sh mod csm 1 real sf SAPCCP

real server farm weight state conns/hits

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 SAPCCP 8 PROBE_FAILED 0

10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 SAPCCP 8 PROBE_FAILED 0

10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 SAPCCP 8 PROBE_FAILED 0

Probe failed could be for a number of reasons however the inconsistency is that the failed probes follow the CSM module and that the other module has working probes.

It is to be noted that the command “ping module csm 1 10.xxx.xxx.xxx” reports to be reachable as a good indicator that there is connectivity from the CSM to the server.

The following is the output from the currently active CSM (which used to be the standby one):

sh mod csm 1 real sf SAPCCP

real server farm weight state conns/hits

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 SAPCCP 8 OPERATIONAL 51

10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 SAPCCP 8 OPERATIONAL 41

10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 SAPCCP 8 OPERATIONAL 52

Thanks for any pointers on where to look,

Paul.

I would check the ARP table on both CSMs and make sure it is correct for the servers in question.

Get a sniffer trace on the standby CSM.

See if the probes are fired or not and if the does get a response from the server.
