We provided a list of line card serial numbers to our Cisco account manager and he was able to check if there were any at-risk cards. Two weeks later he confirmed there weren't, but I still had spares nearby.

Hi, there's the infamous cisco memory bug "reboot and see your boxes die" - with the recent IOS software fixes, I have a couple of 6500s that need a reboot now, and I'm a bit scared - read: do I plan for "I reboot as usual, and there is a remote chance that hardware will not come back, so ensure a longer-than-planned outage is acceptable", or "I really should have a full set of spare boards sitting beside the to-be-rebooted box, because 90% of all boards will die"...? What are *your* experiences with dieing cisco memory, in particular on 6500s? I've heard horror storries from ASA owners, but not very much from 6500 owners yet... (and that's not because "nobody but me is using them anymore"). The advisory http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/memory.html#~impacted is not very specific... gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany [email protected] fax: +49-89-35655025 [email protected] _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
