IAP305 Rebooting - Restarted process /aruba/bin/rngd

    Posted Jan 29, 2020 07:33 AM

    I have a cluster of 14 IAP305's running Version 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.2

    Only access points 11-14 are rebooting regulary between 30mins and 1 day 

     

    Spotted these repeated entries in the IAP logs for affected aps every 2 mins. Eventually Reboot reason is alwasy warm reboot.

    AP uptime is 51 minutes 51 seconds
    Reboot Time and Cause: AP rebooted caused by warm reset

    (note: Mac edited, real ip is replaced by 10.xx.xx.xx)

     

    This is only happening on ap 11-14 other aps show no such log entries and have been up for 3 weeks.

     

    Whats is the process that is dieing and restarting, ultimately is that what is casuing the reboot, and why only APs 11-14.

    All standard checks have taken place, cabling moving switch ports etc.

    this may be a TPM failure, what's the output of:

    show ap tpm-info

    What i have spotted is that all the working aps have the following beginning macs
    24:f2:7f:c7:96:xx
    24:f2:7f:c7:95:xx
    tpm output for those is
         Status: Ready

         vendor: ATML
        version: 01.02
            rev: 42.02
           spec: 00.02
         errata: 03

      TIMEOUT_A: 10
      TIMEOUT_B: 10
      TIMEOUT_C: 10
      TIMEOUT_D: 10


    All 4 aps that are periodically rebooting all have a different mac series, are they likely to have a hardware variance causing this issue?
    Is it a known issue? and is there a software version that resolves it?
    This is a busy site so if software upgrade is required wish to move to a resolved version.
    24:f2:7f:c7:b3:xx

    TPM Output for rebooting APs
    TPM not initialized/busy. Please try again later.

    the mac addresses should be largely irrelevant, the concerning part is the following:


    TPM not initialized/busy. Please try again later.

    Can you try a hard power cycle of the AP(s) just to make sure (support is going to ask you to do that anwyays). If the AP still doesn't come up, then'd I'd get ready to RMA them - you're likely going to be asked to capture the console output of the AP when it's booting (which, if the TPM is bad, there will be some error seen).  That's not always easy to do, and may depend on your ability to replace the APs with spares and take the faulty ones to a location where you can plug them into POE and capture the console.

     

    TL;DR; RMA these APs, pre-empt the requests from TAC by getting console output of one AP that fails and having it ready to send to them, plus the TPM error for all 4 that have problems and that you have tried a power cycle and that other identical APs are OK (etc.)

    The Aps have been rebooted / Hard power cycled.

    As far as i can tell from the user they are working, they just periodically reboot.

    While they are not that easy to access i would not wish to replace then and RMA if the replacement APs do the same.

    I have tried looking for identical macs

     

    It cant be a coincidence that the rebooting APs are a different production mac to all the working ones.

     

    My gut feeling is this is likely resolved by software just which one :)

    if upgrading is preferred, go for it, there's a slim chance it may solve it, it also may do nothing... let us know what happens either way.
