CSM HeartBeat issue

alray79
Level 1
Level 1

We have two 6509s (12.2(17b)SXA) with WS-X6066-SLB-APC CSM modules running version 3.2(1)

Basically, what happened was the two modules sort of were not able to see each others so the standby one became active causing a collision.

Switch1 configs:

module ContentSwitchingModule 9

variable AGGREGATE_BACKUP_SF_STATE_TO_VS 1

!

ft group 10 vlan 53

priority 10

failover 3

preempt

Switch2 configs:

module ContentSwitchingModule 9

variable AGGREGATE_BACKUP_SF_STATE_TO_VS 1

!

ft group 10 vlan 53

priority 9

failover 3

preempt

Switch1#sh module contentSwitchingModule 9 ft detail

FT group 10, vlan 53

This box is active

priority 10, heartbeat 1, failover 3, preemption is on

Jan 14 16:21:39.269: %CSM_SLB-6-REDUNDANCY_INFO: Module 9 FT info: State Transition Active -> Standby

Is there any reason that will force the loss of heartbeats between the two switches?

you are running 3.2.1 which is very old.

You should consider an upgrade to a more recent version.

First try rebooting the active/ Standby module to check if this fixes the prolem. Upgrading the standby has helped me fix the issue.
