Not sure we have hit that issue, but still seeing some crash issues since May 
last year

We have had 5 PRD controllers on 110.0 since 1st Feb and another 1(dev) since 
December last year. One of the PRD crashed 2 days ago, but that is all we have 
seen. I'm not sure if ours is related to memory, it's suspiciously looks like a 
similar crash to what we have seen since 7.6.120 and every release in between. 
(yep, take that kick).

Though we haven't seen anything in the logs(memory allocation failures) like we 
did the first rounds in 7.6.120.0 in the other crashes, the memory usage 
pattern has similarities. That is it will gradually rise from 55-70% (where 
it's normally stable) upto 80-85%, then crash. (see attached image). We rarely 
get crash logs or dumps for this. Has been less obvious and occurred less since 
7.6.120.0 but still appears to show up. Hard to tell with the one 2 days ago, 
Prime graphs are currently doing weird things.... Surprise surprise.

Another thing we found with the upgrade to 8.0 was that 2 controllers crashed 
while downloading the software, this was memory again. Both controllers 
exhibited that wonderful memory issue upon investigation.... So next time we'll 
check memory and do a pre-reboot... The upgrade worked the second time around.

If you monitor cisco uptime on your devices you can get messages when a device 
reboots, handy for when the timing means you don't get the down message.  There 
is a reset timer on them though, which can provide false alerts...we have never 
hit that on a controller, they aren't up long enough.. I think it's 2+years, so 
we have seen it on switches

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 5508 Reboots- 8.0.110.0 Code

Sigh... just kick me.

Our latest Cisco WLAN fun comes in the form of 5508 spontaneous reboots on 
8.0.110.0 code. Has anyone else on the list experienced this?

I do find this Support Community thread:  
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12411926/wlc-5508-automatically-restarting-twice-week#comment-10362606

And this related bug: https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuq74491

Have had one reboot today, and found that another had done so last week quick 
enough where monitoring and alerting didn't catch it. Now going through all of 
them to see if there might have been others missed.

TAC case open and I see that 8.0.110.0 is no longer available to download, with 
8.0.115.0 "recommended".
