Figure 490 illustrates the IPC subsystem, including the IRC links between the RPMs, and the relevant
troubleshooting commands.
Figure 490 IPC Sub-system
Indicates that the system detected a single-bit ECC memory error in the RPM
CPU memory (SDRAM). The system tracks the number of multi-bit errors and
resets the system after a certain number of such errors are recorded. Upon
reset, the system writes a failure trace file to the TRACE_LOG directory for
analysis by Force10 Networks.
Indicates that the system detected an error on the internal IPC switch
subsystem connection between the two RPMs. This connection is referred to
as Inter-RPM Communication (IRC). When a number of consecutive IRC
heartbeat messages are lost, the system will declare an IRC timeout via a
Syslog message and reset the system. This message suggests that a hardware
fault on the RPM may have caused the IRC timeout.
To troubleshoot this issue:
• Verify that the RPMs are fully inserted.
• Try a swap test of the RPMs.
• Capture the output of the following show hardware commands:
•show hardware rpm number cpu party-bus statistics
•show hardware rpm number mac counters
•show hardware rpm number mac port-statistics rpm number (of
alternate RPM)
Indicates the internal IPC party bus connection to a line card has changed to
down. IPC, or inter-process communication, is the protocol used among the
RPM and line card CPUs to exchange information. The underlying IPC
subsystem uses internal Ethernet links.
To troubleshoot this condition:
• Capture the output of the show hardware linecard cpu party-bus
statistics command, and forward it to Force10 Networks.
