A fatal error was reported by SAR firmware during initialization

[Michel Bou Sleiman]

Dears,

After upgrading the SMU to one of our IOS XR GSR, we got the following error:

g_spa_2[173]: SPA ATM1/2 SAR: A fatal error was reported by SAR firmware during initialization: Firmware version mismatch [Error code 2002]. SPA will reset

The line card went into constant reload.

I could not locate any bug related.

Could it be hardware issue ?

Thanks,

Michel.

it could be the wrong hw rev for the atm spa is used (I thought you needed a V2).

that could be part of the problem.

alternatively, I would let the SIP boot without the SPA, invoke a fpd update, insert the SPA, try to update the fpd of the SPA, if that still fails, I think you need to open a tac case.

doesnt look like a hw failure to me, but this is a hw issue (fw revision situation)

regards

Sorry to reply here, I want to know the solution for another problem you faced before regarding ASR1K PAT 1:1 translation,as that post already closed.
