Hi all, I know there have been some pretty ugly bugs on srx5k with multiple SPCs in some early JUNOS 10.0 releases (and earlier). We're running 10.0R4 on a bunch of 5800s but while we have two SPCs per chassis, only one is inserted and online.
I want to insert the 2nd SPC -- after all, we paid for 'em -- but I wasn't filled with confidence when we tested one box within a maintenance window tonight. I shut down the chassis, inserted the 2nd SPC (in slot 10) and started it back up. FPC 10 PIC 1 (the 2nd SPU) was pegged at 99% processor and the box was doing nothing except maintain ~100 IPSec tunnels. A second reboot magically fixed the SPU load problem (I couldn't influence it through any config changes or operational commands) but by then any confidence I had was gone so I rolled back the hardware change and didn't bother with the rest of the systems. Since playing with a newer JUNOS wasn't on the cards tonight, I've decided to revisit the insertion of the 2nd SPC as part of a future JUNOS upgrade. We'll be looking closely at 10.4R3 very soon. Has anyone got stable srx5ks w/multiple SPCs in production networks? Which JUNOS release? (we do IPSec VPNs, OSPF, CoS [shaping, scheduling etc.], RADIUS/NTP/SNMP/RMON/SSH, virtual routers, basic firewall filters, basic security policy.)
