Nexus 5596UP Crash

Hi, 

 

we are currently experiencing an issue where a pair of Nexus 5596UP's are crashing resulting in us having to power cycle the device to restore service. The crash seems to occur within 15 minutes of each other

 

The reset reason for the last two crashes is below.

 

Secondary crashed first:

 

sho system reset-reason
----- reset reason for Supervisor-module 1 (from Supervisor in slot 1) ---
1) At 671084 usecs after Tue Oct 1 12:14:11 2019
Reason: Reset Requested due to Fatal System Error
Service: Too many restarts of sysmgr
Version: 7.3(0)N1(1)

 

With the primary crashing shortly after:

 

At 668393 usecs after Tue Oct 1 12:31:01 2019
Reason: Reset Requested due to Fatal System Error
Service: Too many restarts of sysmgr
Version: 7.3(0)N1(1)

 

I was able to pull nvram logs from the latest crash which I have copied below.

 

Primary:

I haven't been able to find anything bug related, and was hoping the forums might help identify the cause...  

 

Thanks

Hi Dan,

I could not find a bug that matches this issue and neither anything in the release notes referencing these error messages.

I recommend opening a ticket with TAC as they may be able to provide more info. Most likely a bug and you would need to upgrade.

HTH
