asa5520 Problems "Lost Failover communications with mate on interface outside"

THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES HAVE BEEN APPEARING MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. This has been dropping my VPN clients.

The ASA is on version 803 and has memory issues where it free memory drops to 42%. We then have to reboot to reclaim free mem

where is goes back to 50% and then  steadily decline over a 3-4 week period

Hi,

From the description of your issue , I think you might be running into a Memory Leak as well as Block Depletion issue on the ASA device.

Best Advice would be to open a TAC case.

Thanks and Regards,
