5406zl Error - 00274 chassis: (84) Slot C: Blade Crash detected

[OLARU Dan]

If the problem reappears after you fillup blade C, then it's the blade not the backplane.

Tony,
thanks for the point, mate!
I'm running against Matt here, and any point is welcome ;-)
Cheers

If as you suggest the problem is with the blade in slot C not the backplane.
How do you explain the following? When all the connections are moved from the blade in slot C to the blade in slot D, the blade in slot D started to crash with the same error messages.

48 hours ago the network connections in the blade in slot D were all moved back to blade in slot C. The blade in slot C now has 23 of the 24 ports in use; this is the configuration the blade was in when the blade crashes started to occur.

The blade in slot C has not crashed in the past 48 hours. I am still monitoring the switch to check for any issues. The fault appears to have been with the chassis and not the blade or the software.

24 hours after the connections were all moved back on to the blade in slot C the blade crashed again with the same error as before.

I have done as you suggested now disabled the sFlow on the switch and removed the switch from the PCM+ traffic monitor. I am once again keeping a close eye on this switch.

Any other suggestions?

Regarding the problem with PCM+ and sFlow crashing modules and creating general havoc.. We've been fighting this issue for months, and per HP support, this issue is still not fixed in K.12.01 either. I would in no way continue to run PCM+ on your network.

Would those of you who have a Procurve Case ID (Trouble ticket number) for this crash be so kind as to post it in this forum?

Thanks.

Tony, I don't think that trouble call is still open. Are you continuing to work with ProCurve Support regarding this?

HP have opened a new case with the following ID 1214859945
