XGS Protection Interfaces fail to load

Troubleshooting


Problem

The XGS appliance protection interfaces may fail to load properly.

Symptom

When trying to check the status of the interfaces via the command line using the "protection show" command, the response back is "command failure".

Cause

A corrupted key phrase soft link causes the analysis daemon to crash with a signal 6. When checking the log files, users will see the following messages:
CFG: Error: Couldn't read keyfile
CFG: Fatal error: Exception: Failed to load CA

Resolving The Problem

Contact support and request the 5.4.X-ISS-XGS-Recover-Keyphrase-All-Models-IF0001 fixpack. This fixpack does require a reboot, so plan accordingly.
