NetOps Spectrum crashes in Linux with fapolicyd enabled

Products

• DX NetOps

Issue/Introduction

We have noticed in Red Hat Linux that we have had several SpectroSERVER crashes when fapolicyd was enabled in our Red Hat Linux 8 environment.

Environment

NetOps Spectrum 22.2.x / 23.3.x

Red Hat Linux 8 with fapolicyd enabled

Cause

fapolicyd appears to be a culprit that causes the SpectroSERVER to crash without a core file

Resolution

At this time we would strongly recommend not enabling fapolicyd on the SpectroSERVER server if you are experiencing unknown crashes.

If necessary, please make sure that the entire $SPECROOT folder is properly excluded.

Additional Information

Our QA team is currently evaluating fapolicyd and we will update once we have more information.
