I have to telnet into my console switch to reset the cards in order to get them back on-line. They behave for a while, then drop off again. I'm hoping we can dig up the bucks for HiPerNMCs to replace all these bastards at some point. Anyone got a quick fix meanwhile? Same problem here. It sometimes even won't answer ping at all, but will come back online by itself (no reboot, the nic just reappears). My problem is probably to insufficient power (45Ax2 -is the backup used?- for 14 Quads). Do you have a 70A to check for this?
Most of the chassis have redundant 70A PSUs. Some of the NMCs that are dropping are on chassis that aren't taking a lot of calls, either. This is what is so puzzling about it. My paranoia says they're doing this to encourage the purchase of HiPerNMCs... ********************************************************* Michelle M.
