ADX 1008 crashed with 'Lack of buffers' [ Edited ]

[ok81]

Balancer went down with the following errors on console (was not pingable through all interfaces, only serial connection worked). Was not overloaded in the moment of failure (like 50% ASM CPU used) and worked fine a couple of years without any interruption before.

ADX SI-1008-1-SSL-PREM

I wonder if it could be HW problem or firmware bug.

Thanks!

I would suggest to open a TAC with Brocade - if you have a active maintenance contract -

If no, i would try to reset / erase the ADX and reload a Image.

BTW, the error is not a Firmware DEFECT.
