Error description

  • Problem Description:
    The "Sub-state" in the hamon.log for Load Balancer for IPv4 and
    IPv6 (uLB) remains as "Not Synchronized".
    Recreation Steps: Configure HA and set the loglevel to 5. You'll
    see the "Sub-state ..................... Not Synchronized" in
    the hamon.log
    --- For example,
    Jun15 12:49:01.301 NZST HAM: Got action value from state
    machine.
    Action ........................ noOp
    Old executor status:
    com.ibm.internet.nd.server.SRVHaInfo@2039f39f
    Status ........................ Valid
    Mode .......................... Single
    Address ....................... 10.200.138.67
    Role .......................... primary
    Strategy ...................... auto
    State ......................... Active
    Sub-state ..................... Not Synchronized
    ---
    Proposed Solution: Remove the "Sub-state" because the "dscontrol
    hi status" does not have the "Sub-state" in the uLB.

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The high availibity sub-state always shows at Not Synchronized
    in the log file.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Sub-state is not a function of the Load Balancer for ipv4 and
    ipv6. It is an old artifact from the previous product, Load
    Balancer for ipv4. It has been removed from the Load Balancer
    for ipv4 and ipv6 logfile.
    
    Fix level :
        7.0.0.42
        8.0.0.13
        8.5.5.11
        9.0.0.2
    
    Does not affect the Load Balancer for ipv4 release since
    sub-state is a valid function of high availability.
