  • 1.  What is "the kmd instance kmd is not running"?

    Posted 08-30-2018 00:06

    I'm troubeshooting VPN issue. When run "show security ike security-associations" show me this

    error: the kmd instance kmd is not running

    Found KB said

    This is a known issue in Junos OS release 12.1X44. This issue is fixed in Junos OS release 12.1X45 or higher.

    But I'm using 12.1X47-D15.4

     

    Found that "kmd" should be a essential process for VPN. Run "show system processes extensive|match kmd" show nothing.

    It even not start after restart ipsec-key-management

    Hello,

     

    Is it a standalone device or a cluster?

    If cluster, which node you are executing the command on?

    Hello,

     

    Can you share the output of 'show version', 'show chassis hardware' & 'show system core-dumps' from the device?

    Hello,

     

    Can you try operational mode command 'restart ipsec-key-management' & see if KMD comes up?

     

    Regards,

    Just like before. Restart ipsec-key-management cannot start kmd.

    Hello,

     

     

    It is strange. Are there any overlapping traffic selectors in your VPN configuration?

    Can you do 'commit full' & check if KMD comes up?

     

    Else is it possible to reboot vSRX firefly?

     

    Regards,

    "commit" command has no possible completion of "full".

    I had restart this vSRX for several times.

    Hello,

     

    commit full is hidden command so you won't get completion.

    If even reboot of the firefly does not work, I believe some corruption with vSRX firefly.

    Try spinning a new instance if possible and instead of vSRX firefly which is end of support long back,  try spinning vSRX2.0 (15.1X49) release.
