Spirent TestCenter: MX2 test module crashes when enabling EL4-7.

Symptoms
  • The Spirent TestCenter Application freezes after activating EL4-7.
  • The test module status is shown as restarting, and the GUI records a timeout about 10 minutes later.
  • The ethernet ports cannot be reserved, so the card must be rebooted.
Environment
  • Spirent TestCenter 5.20 or older.
  • Enhanced L4-7.
  • MX2-10G-S8.
  • MX2-11AX-2-V2.
Explanation/Resolution
  • The Default Mode in the MX2-11AX-2-V2 test module brings up the ports in 32 bits mode, causing them to be stuck trying to start up the daemons.
  • The fix for this issue is available in the 5.21 release.
Root Cause
A problem in the pkgmgr/Launcher code is causing the FPGA to use the wrong VM image.
