Troubleshooting


Problem

FAM Server groups in internet explorer returns an update page with empty group doesn't returns the group members

Symptom

FAM Group doesn't return group members in Internet Explorer

Cause

The issue will only happen when the appliance ever has a STAP host for FAM connected before (this can be checked in GUI's 'STAP Control')

Environment

10.1.2 and 10.1.3

Diagnosing The Problem

When updating the FAM Server group member, part of the function is to list all FAM hosts that already exists in this appliance so user can check and un-check the FAM hosts easily. However, this function seems not work in Internet Explorer. When there's already FAM hosts in this appliance, Editing the group will result in empty group name with No items to display

This is the screen-shot when editing the FAM server group in Firefox

1. Confirm in IE the problem as per the last screenshot
2. Check in another browser as per your screenshot
3. Check in s-tap control for :FAM entry
