delayed show command output with error code

hi all,

i've got a weird behavior on one of mine ESX hosts.

when i execute a show command related to a specific module / interface the output takes some time and sometimes generates an error.

The ESX host is patched to the latest release and im running N1kv 1(2).

have a look at the commands:

a show mod indicates nothing suspicious:

N1kv# sh mod

when i take a look at the interfaces with show int x/x for the eth / po interfaces i get an error :

N1kv# sh int po 1
Error sending opc 9004 to sap 800 on node 0x302 for ifidx 16000000 (err=0x6e)

or

  1 interface resets

it takes some time till the output is displayed (app 10-15sek).

on the veth side i have the same delay but no error message is displayed.

thats my config of the uplink port-profile

port-profile type ethernet Uplink
  vmware port-group
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk native vlan 210
  switchport trunk allowed vlan all
  channel-group auto mode on mac-pinning
  no shutdown
  system vlan 210-213,215-216
  state enabled

the ESX host is accessible and traffic also passes the VEM.

i had this issue some weeks ago but a simple reboot of the host did the job - since this is the second time I'll keep the host running.

maybe we can investigate together what might cause this behavior.

Lukas,

Can you send the output of the following command on VSM?

show svs neighbors

thanks,

Naren

hi Naren,

i experienced the issue again ... ( 2 weeks everything was ok)

here's the output of sh svs neighbors

N1kv# sh svs neighbors

thx lukas

Hi Lukas,

The issue is two modules (in your case it is module 6 and module 4) having the same MAC address. All the unicast messages to module 4 will fail.

This has been fixed and the fix will be available in the upcoming release. (April 2010).

N1kv# sh svs neighbors

Active Domain ID: 1

AIPC Interface MAC: 0050-56ab-783b
Inband  Interface MAC: 0050-56ab-2c62

Src MAC           Type   Domain-id     Node-id     Last learnt (Sec. ago)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

0050-56ab-416c      VSM         1         0201     677183.33
0002-3d40-6502      VEM         1         0302     424038.86
0002-3d40-0105      VEM         1         0402     410030.50
0002-3d40-0104      VEM         1         0502     677143.50
0002-3d40-0105      VEM         1         0602     410030.50

The work around is, on module 4 run the following commands:

vem stop

vem start

thanks,

Naren
