ACE 20 | Slow access to All serverfarm of a particular Context when Traffic Increases on one serverfarm/VIP

[Shirshendu Nandi]

Dear Community

Hi !!

We are  Facng a typical issue and scraching Head since sometime Now and Now seek help and sugesstions

I have a ACE with 10 Context. Now There is a Particular Context  which have 6 server farms and all have under different VI.

Have raised Multiple TAC cases and Captured Millions of Packets but no reason. The ACE resource and CPU Usage is Normal and no increase noticed.

Issues Happening is that when connection to one serverfarm cross 1000, all other serverfarms and VIP  of that context  are facing very very slowness ,and  they have no relation with each other both Physically and Fictionally

If any of you have heard of similar issue can you refer me a solution if the issue is with ACE

Hi Shirshendu,

Is it a particular serverfarm where connections go above 1000 and you face problem or it doesn't matter ? Please check the overall resource usage in all the contexts of ACE. Have you guaranteed minimum resource to the context or there is no minimum and context uses global pool? It is always recommended to have minimum resource limit guaranteed.

Also, we can see  if "slowness"  is induced by ACE or is it server or something else which is causing the delay. The best option is to take pcaps before and after ACE and see if packet gets delayed while traversing through the ACE.

You should also take two instances of show tech while you are facing the problem and get it analyzed by TAC to see if they see any counters increase which may be causing the issue.

All the serverfarms in context exhibiting the issue because on one serverfarm connection count increases above 1000 is clear indication of resource crunch or some device in front which has rate limit applied. Cannot always blame the ACE:).
