Stealthbits fpolicy stops responding after receiving a negotiate request
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Stealthbits fpolicy
Issue
- Stealthbits fpolicy server stops responding normally
- TCP connections to the fpolicy service port (default TCP/9999) are accepted
- ONTAP creates a connection to Stealthbits, but gets no application-level response
- ONTAP → SYN → Stealthbits
- Stealthbits → SYN/ACK → ONTAP
- ONTAP → ACK → Stealthbits
- ONTAP → Negotiate Request (fpolicy) → Stealthbits
- No response from Stealthbits for thousand of milliseconds
- Since Stealthbits server is not responding, ONTAP closes the connection
- ONTAP creates a connection to Stealthbits, but gets no application-level response
- Stealthbits service is in an unhealthy state
