Resolution

These are just logging errors and has no impact on NetScaler traffic processing or any other traffic handling feature.

The issue will be fixed in an upcoming NetScaler build.

To workaround this issue, log on to NetScaler GUI once after upgrading the NetScaler to 11.1.54.14 build.

Problem Cause

This is caused by the nsrised daemon.
