Closing IxLoad session crashes ports

I can not find IxLoad tcl API to release ports by invoking command. Actually this should be handled by each IxLoad test itself. Each test contains boolean properties like: 1) enableForceOwnerShip - If true , at the beginning of the test, any ports that are selected for the test but

owned by another user are rebooted and their previous ownership cleared. This

parameter corresponds to the GUI option “Forcefully Take Ownership.” (Default

= false).

  2) enableResetPorts - If true , IxLoad reboots the ports before downloading the test configuration to

them. To ensure the integrity of your testing, it is always safest to reboot the ports

before running a test. However, rebooting the ports does increase the amount of

time required to prepare the ports for a test.

 

3)enableReleaseConfigAfterRun -If true, purges the test configuration from the ports after a test completes, releases

ownership of them, and the ports will no longer respond to ARPs and PINGs

from the DUT. (Default = false).

 

As I understand we are talking about option 3).

iTest do not change any of this properties, so all these properties should be set by test owner in IxLoad GUI.

Please file a bug for this. We may be able to incorporate a fix in next bug fix release for 3.3.

this is still an observed issue in 2020, IxTest still has this issue and setting enableReleaseConfigAfterRun parameter helped.
