Hello!
We have LMS opens SSH sessions to Nexus 5000 devices as part of some jobs.
These SSH connections are not being released by LMS as soon as jobs are completed, which leads the N5K devices to hang without any way of managing them remotely.
We see these connections as idle on the nexus devices (which also should kill these sessions, but this is not the issue).
We have found a known bug:
CSCty90928
LMS Pari jobs are not releasing SSH,telnet connections of the devices
Symptom:
Telnet/SSH connections are not released by LMS
Conditions:
Pari collections jobs are not releasing the connections after the Job completed
Workaround:
None
This bug is categorized as "2 – severe" and is in "Open (Postponed)" status.
I have a few questions, if anyone can assist:
1.) What is the ETA to fix this bug?
2.) Are there any other known bugs matching what we see (documented public bugs, with bug ID's, internal bugs or even undocumented bugs).
3.) Is there any released or unreleased (even yet to be tested by TAC) patch we can use that should fix the issue?
4.) Is there any way to adjust LMS idle timeout of SSH/Telnet sessions (I couldn't find it in the GUI, but maybe there is a way to change this parameter using a perl script or modifying one of LMS properties files)?
Thanking in advance, Udi Dahan.
