ACE4710 started to continuously reboot

Hi, one of our 2 ACE boxes in FT group suddenly reboot-ed from active state and now it continuously reboots with the following error:

insmod: error inserting '/isan/bin/klm_octeon_device.klm': -1 No such device
error inserting /isan/bin/klm_octeon_device.klm
Daughter Card Not Found. Rebooting..
INIT: Sending all processes the TERM signal...


We are currently running SW version A1(8.0a). The only solution/workaround to be found on the web is from the Cisco release notes, which says:

Workaround: Upgrade to the c4710ace-xxxx.bin software image to resolve the rebooting issue.


But how to upload the image, if the system doesn't boot....anyone?

Thank you!

Hi,

I haven't tried this but it might just work ...

First you need to establish a console session to the rebooting ACE.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/admin/guide/basiccfg.html#wp1300907

This should give you a boot menu

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/4710/hardware/installation/guide/Install.html

If this were an ACE module you'd be able to tell it to boot from an image on the supervisor card. I don't know if there is an equivalent network boot option. However the first stage is to get you to a stable rommon prompt.

HTH

Hi Cathy, thanks!

Come to think of it, there is an option in the GRUB boot menu to boot a ACE-APPLIANCE-RECOVERY-IMAGE.bin image. I will try this option tommorow and see what can I do in the so called recovery mode...

Nope, same error....

What is I pull out the CF card and copy the new image and edit grub from some other linux box?

UPDATE:

yes, it's pretty staightforward: take out the flash card, stick it in a linux box, mount both partitions. These are the contents of both:

Replace the image with the new one, edit GRUB cofig (part0 /grub/menu.lst), unmount, put the card back and reboot....

Unfortunately, my problem remains even with the new image...

Hi,

      I have the same problem, anyone know how to fix it?

Hi Cristobal,

It looks like a problem on the PCI card, most of the times we have  this error is related with a hardware issue.

--------------------- Cesar R ANS Team

I'm having the same issue but what is funny is that it occurred on two 4710's at the same time. 

The octeon mentionned is the chipset used as dataplane; if it's not recognized anymore, it comes from a hardware issue.

Any electrical outage which can have burnt some electronics ?

Hi ,

     I had to apply an RMA, it was a hardware problem.

Cristóbal

Thanks.

Thanks.
