Hello, I have this customer that has a pair of fw modules running R60HF04 over Solaris and working as active/standby cluster.
Recently they were troubleshooting some connectivity issues with a remote site, and decided to check the CPU usage on the active fw module, so they used the vmstat command, which started giving a regular output, but suddenly some unusual messages came out. Check them out: :/#vmstat 2 kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1720288 180936 18 92 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131 49 117 1 7 92 0 0 0 1696888 158528 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 736 747 133 0 13 87 . . kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1696888 158520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 780 765 141 0 6 94 1 0 0 1696888 158520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 768 836 120 0 8 91 0 0 0 1696888 158520 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 632 940 209 0 6 94 0 0 0 1696888 158520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 747 683 115 0 10 90 0 0 0 1696888 158520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 723 759 112 0 7 93 0 0 0 1696888 158520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 578 749 123 1 5 94 <<State change>> kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1720288 180936 18 92 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131 49 117 1 7 92 0 0 0 1695488 157264 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 553 652 114 0 4 96 0 0 0 1695488 157264 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 667 604 111 0 10 90 <<State change>> kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1720288 180936 18 92 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131 49 117 1 7 92 0 0 0 1695416 157192 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 603 667 106 0 8 92 <<State change>> kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1720288 180936 18 92 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131 49 117 1 7 92 0 0 0 1695416 157184 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 773 833 133 0 9 91 0 0 0 1695416 157184 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 977 846 168 1 19 80 <<State change>> kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1720288 180936 18 92 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131 49 117 1 7 92 0 0 0 1695416 157184 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 877 677 130 0 7 92 <<State change>> kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr m1 m1 m1 m2 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 1720288 180936 18 92 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131 49 117 1 7 92 0 0 0 1696824 158472 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 699 838 206 0 15 85 0 0 0 1696760 158408 97 368 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 747 1581 171 3 16 81 My customer thought those messages meant the active module was changing its cluster state from active to standby, back and forward, but I went there and after doing some filtering on the Check Point logs, proved to him those boxes had never switched HA states. Unfortunately I have no idea what those messages mean and apparently Secure Knowledge is down, anyway I feel like most likely this is something Solaris related, not Check Point's. Most of my Check Point experience is on SPLAT deployments so I'm wondering if any of you guys with more Check Point-over-Solaris knowledge might help me with this one, as my customer now wants to know what is going on with that box.
