Symptoms
Traffic disruption after policy installation on 21000 appliance with installed SAM card.
During the issue, output of the "fwaccel stat" command shows: Accelerator Status : waiting for policy load
21000 appliance with installed SAM card crashes with "Could not stop acceleration (reason: internal (call timeout))" after policy installation.
Cause
On rare occasions (with a very large uptime of more than 250 days), traffic can be dropped after policy installation because a SecureXL template is deleted prematurely from FireWall kernel.
