6506E w/Sup720 unexplained reboot

Hi there,

I have a 6506E, running 12.2(33)SXI2, with the following hardware configuration:

Mod Ports Card Type                              Model            
--- ----- -------------------------------------- ------------------ -----------
  1    6  Firewall Module                        WS-SVC-FWM-1      
  2    4  SLB Application Processor Complex      WS-X6066-SLB-APC  
  3   24  CEF720 24 port 1000mb SFP              WS-X6724-SFP

  5    8  Network Analysis Module                WS-SVC-NAM-2      
  6    2  Supervisor Engine 720 (Active)         WS-SUP720-3B    

This last weekend this switch rebooted, and I found this in the logs:

Can anyone offer some guidance on what I can look at for troubleshooting this?

Just double checked with the show version, most likely you are hitting CSCtb27643. Sorry, time for an upgrade.

Hi Brandon

I could see this reset related to memory issues, it clearly shows it was low on memory as a result it wasnt able to allocate memory.

The main reason might be dead memory or high usage.

whats the status now ? is it normal after the reset.

I would also suggest to raise TAC case on this so that Cisco reverts with any new bug with this particulat ios train.

Meanwhile can you also check with the known bugs with this IOS code?

regds

The device seems to be operating properly at this point.   I found bug CSCsy03587, but I don't think it applies to my situation.

Since the memory allocation always seems to be failing from the same address, you would tend to think the memory is bad - is that right?

SXI2 has a medium buffer memory leak CSCtb27643 which leads to the deferral of the SXI2 code. The fix is in SXI2a or above.

Also, if you can post the output of show version?

Regards,

jerry

neovestit      - IS  software upgrade fix this bug ?

 

my 6509 ran like a champ for 5y without reboot and started appearing this errror message 

 %RPC-2-FAILED_USERHANDLE: Failed to send RPC request sw_vlan_sp:sw_vlansp_get_4k_vlan_info
-Traceback= 4121D010 41530AF4 42244E20 413F5468 413F5A24 4071837C 40717528 40E9AAB0 40E79A84 40E6D0B4 40E907A8 4102E528 4102E514

 

here is IOS image I am running - s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF5.bin

 

 

You're possibly seeing high cpu as well?

How frequent is this error?

Any recent configuration/HW changes?

I have bandwidth graph already set for CPU and memory 

average CPU is 6-8 % - no CPU spikes

memory is normal 

 

Here are the errors

These are IPC messages stuck in buffer. Do you see any buffer leaks?

show buffer

show buffer summary

show buffer usage

show buffer detail

A reload might resolve this but to check further before reload, I would suggest opening a TAC case.

Thanks, Anupam

To find root cause, there should be crashinfo file in bootflash and sup_bootflash.

Can you take out it's output... that needs to be checked to find out exact cause.
