HI
I have a question about Cisco Nexus7000 switch
Recently I found that one of our distribution switch (Nexus7k) was rebooted by itself
on the show version output, the reason of reboot was because of "Kernel Panic"
What does that mean?? was it because of power failure or was it hitting a bug ?
Our datacenter had a minor power mallfunction issue too during the time at which the switch rebooted, but Im not sure it impacted the mentioned switch
Here is the output of show version :

It would be anything. It might be a bug due to the fact that 5.1(2) is not a recommended version:
This list say 5.2(3a) is the minimum. You should consider using the latest 5.2 software.
