Anyone seen these errors on 6509, catos 6.4.3. The errors are occuring continuously. Any suggestions.

Thanks,

Above errors are occuring

Looks like one of your clock modules is getting flakey.

Do a sh environment status. find out which clock module is not-in-use and reseat it.

If that doesn't clear it, I would call TAC.

Make sure you pull the right clock module. if both clocks go down the switch will crash.

sorry, just realized you're on catos.The above command is for ios.

I think the catos command is just "show environment"

You should see something indicating which clock is active and any that have failed.

I found some information on this error, that says this is a clock module failure and the clock module should be replaced. The clock module resides on the chassis.

Yes, the 6509 has dual clock modules. A & B.

if the switch is indicating a failure then you should replace it. I would still try re-seating it before swapping it out. It may just be hosed.
