2018-02-05 10:45 | 2018-02-21 13:30 | ICCP Networking - Outbound | A hardware failure on one of the two core switches for ICCP caused that switch to enter a degraded service mode and eventually fail completely. This was also combined with software bugs that caused looping of packets between the two cores in the MC-LAG. The other core was still functioning properly and was providing connectivity for all ICCP/ADS/DES systems normally for the duration of the degraded service time period. A hardware replacement RMA was initiated. The hardware came in but the hardware alone did not fix the issue. We then waited until a ICCP PM where we could test things without interruption of service and we upgraded the code and put in some bug mitigation configuration changes. These things combined solved the issues. | Nothing as far as production. During the period where cc-core0 was down, aggregate bandwidth outbound was 40Gbps instead of the normal 80Ghps. | As of now the cores are both in production and stable. | |
