Core issue
This issue occurs due to the presence of Cisco bug ID CSCse33757.
This issue occurs after a replication between Access Control Servers (ACSs). If the secondary is restarted, the server/appliance goes to 100 percent Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage.
A failure in the checkpoint that forces the database (DB) to sync with the restore file causes this problem. The reload causes a DB corruption.
This bug found in the ACS version 4.0(1.42).
Resolution
For a workaround:
In order to resolve this issue, upgrade to ACS 4.1(1) version.
