Hi All, 

Can anyone please help describe the meaning of this error:

Nov 25 09:27:16.230 gmt: %ILPOWER-3-CONTROLLER_ERR: Controller error, Controller number 0: accessing failed
Nov 25 09:27:16.255 gmt: %ILPOWER-3-CONTROLLER_ERR: Controller error, Controller number 1: accessing failed

Nov 25 09:27:16.381 gmt: %ILPOWER-3-CONTROLLER_ERR: Controller error, Controller number 11: accessing failed

I've seen this error related to a specific interface, but I'm not sure how to dig deeper on 'Controller number x'

I've done 'show controllers power inline' and 'show power inline' with output attached 

Thanks!

Reboot the appliance and see if the error message goes away.

[Shams Jawaid]

The messages aren't there after a reboot, is this a cosmetic bug?

[Leo Laohoo]

I suspect this is an IOS bug and will be triggered when the uptime of the appliance reaches a certain limit.
