Issue

  • One cluster network port reports, hourly, a high amount of CRC errors. Example
...
Thu Jun 23 02:05:22 +0200 [node_name-01: vifmgr: vifmgr.cluscheck.hwerrors:alert]: Port e0a on node node_name-01 is reporting a high number (at least 1 per 1000 packets) of observed hardware errors (CRC, length, alignment, dropped).
Thu Jun 23 02:05:22 +0200 [node_name-01: vifmgr: callhome.clus.net.degraded:alert]: Call home for CLUSTER NETWORK DEGRADED: CRC Errors Detected - High CRC errors detected on port e0a node node_name-01
Thu Jun 23 03:05:23 +0200 [node_name-01: vifmgr: vifmgr.cluscheck.hwerrors:alert]: Port e0a on node node_name-01 is reporting a high number (at least 1 per 1000 packets) of observed hardware errors (CRC, length, alignment, dropped).
  • Multiple system health alerts pointing to the source of the issue. Example:
NodeIfInErrorsWarnAlert
The percentage of inbound packet errors of node "node_name-01" on interface "e0a" is above the warning threshold.
 
ClusterIfInErrorsWarn_Alert
The percentage of inbound packet errors of switch interface "switch_name-01/Slot: 0 Port: 2 25G - Level" is above the warning threshold.
The percentage of outbound packet errors of switch interface "switch_name-01/Slot: 0 Port: 1 25G - Level" is above the warning threshold.
  • Errors received in one port and transmitted to the other:

Packets Received Without Error................. 24203865
Packets Received With Error.................... 0
