Hi all,

today I found these "strange" messages on a Procurve 2900 log:

What do they mean? Is it a hardware failure ?
Switch seems to work properly.

Please can you tell me what are the devices connected to ports on this module(the exact name if laptops or desktops)

And also can you mention what is the firmware version running on the switch.

do you have ports that are not working on the switch?

try to upgrade your firmware to the latest version and see if that fixes the issue>

Regards

Hi,

this is a Procurve 2900-24g (J9049A) with firmware revision T.13.45

Slot A is related to "ProCurve J9049A yl X2/CX4 10-GbE Module" and nothing is connected to that module.

After a power-cycle the module seems to work... let's wait some day and see what will happen.

Regards
Marco

Hello Marco,

This can be a hardware failure, but it can also be a software bug.

Call ProCurve support and sent them the "show tech all" of the switch.

They probably will ask you to upgrade to latest firmware T.13.71.

In T.13.62 is a bug fixed which caused tombstone error.

Good luck,
Michael
