Installation failed. Reason: Memory allocation problem in Policy installation function.

we have a centrally managed 1550 Cluster XL running R80.20.15 - Build 682

when i try to install policy it always fails on the active member and installs on the standby no issues.

The message is indicating a memory error but the boxes do not seem to be running out of memory.

I've had a ticket open with TAC for about 10 days with still no resolution . Though I would check in the forums for any ideas?

This post should be in SMB ! What happens if you do a policy pull on the active node ? What happens after a failover ?

I've manually forced a failover and tried that as well. again it will ONLY fail on the active member of the ClusterXL.

 

I've only tried pushing policy from the  MDS

Connect using SSH to each node and issue

 # fetch policy mgmt-ipv4-address <sms IP>

same message on both :

Local Security Policy is Up-To-Date.

Installing Security Policy...

Done.

sk167416 - "sfw_mac_filtering_config: ioctl SFW_MAC_FILTERING failed" message when pushing policy on a 1500 device

Cause
This is a cosmetic issue. MAC filtering is not supported on 1500 appliances.

Both nodes have the current policy - alter the policy, install and try on the failing node again.

What version/JHF are you pushing from?
Also, has TAC asked you to debug the policy installation process yet?
Send the SR number in a PM.
