Re: Unexpected restarts

 

Unexpected restarts

One of my 2900's seems to be restarting randomly.

This morning it affected backups and our time collection system.

What should I be using to monitor / diagnose these issues? I have a feeling the switch is bouncing more often, and I'm only occasionally catching it.

Re: Unexpected restarts

Hi Daniel,

You could start by identifying what is going on, the show tech (Show Technical Support) file, You will need a TFTP server, you can download one for free at www.solarwinds.com

Use the following CLI command:
copy command 'show tech all' tftp [*ENTER*]

Me and my esteemed members on this forum, could assist in identifying the problem!

Good Luck,
Franklyn

Re: Unexpected restarts

Hi Daniel, you are having the following buserrors:

PPC Data Storage (Bus Error) exception vector 0x300:
Stack Frame=0x089c6340 HW Addr=0x00baa114 IP=0x00765334 Task='mIpPktRecv' Task ID=0x89c6630
fp: 0x0a8d7034

There is a fix implemented , you need to contact your local support for the following firmware release: T.13.25

Good Luck!

Re: Unexpected restarts

Thank you.

I called support and while the .25 release does not directly affect my issue, they did ask me to update and report back.

I have a ticket open with support and will follow up here as well.
