HA msync.log - many errors for "cmd 'ipset -D hostset" or "sesid:-1:evm slot has NULL for sd 10"

I've a new XGS HA A/P cluster running on v20.0.1. The cluster is a migration from a retired XG system. All is running and looks fine so far.

When checking logs, I found in the HA logs that this is filling with errors. Mostly the errors are always of the same type:

Currently I have no physical access to the old appliance to check if these logs have been there before the migration.

So I'd like to know what's the reason for the errors and if it is an expected log behavior? Do you have it also in your HA cluster logs?

  • Thanks. They want to know if changes get synced to the other node. I will check that.

    Besides it would be great if someone can post a snip of their HA msync.log - if it's the same most likely it is a cosmetical thing, if not...?

  • I have found that log behavior for ipses messages on the old nodes that we replaced and also on all of our other active v20 nodes. this looks like "works as designed".

    though it looks like the sesid -1 errors seem to be specific on the 2 new firewalls.

    The other firewalls here log something like:

  • Hi  

    I reviewed one of the HA pair and I could see those logs without any functionality breakage!

    I am reviewing the reason or cause of this and let you know if any found.

  • Hi  ,

    We request you try adding and deleting the FQDN host and reviewing on secondary device.

  • I did that yesterday, created a FQDN dummy host on node 1, switched HA nodes

    node 2 had the FQDN synced.
