A9K-RSP5-SE Not booting on ASR9906

[ThomasD86]

Hi,

one of the RP in our router is not coming up, the display on the front displays "operative" but, the status from the "show platform command is "SW_INACTIVE" occasionally the router will display this erorr message:

0/RSP0/ADMIN0:2021 Sep 13 15:35:03.938 : canbus_driver[4073]: %PLATFORM-CANB_SERVER-3-ERROR_INFO : Error from CBC0 in slot 0/RSP1, error msg Device=CPU, inst=0, error=CPU Catastrophe Error, diagInfo=0x5837a7ff

So far we've tried to:

- Reload the slot

- Reseat the card

- Reload the chassis

- Physically power off and back on the chassis

Has anyone any insight on what else we could try?

Thanks

Hi Kasun,

I forgot to mention it in my opening post (I've added it now) that we tried to reload the chassis and also to physically power it off and back on.

Every instance of this from TAC mentions an RMA of the RSP is needed.

We can dig further into the exact reason, but basically its a memory/CPU MCE error that is fatal and since it happens over and over indicates a hardware failure.
