I'm running 4 8610's as 2 switch blocks with ISTs and an SMLT between them. We ran into a problem a few days back when all four were hung and pegged at 100% CPU. the only way to get them back online was to kill the power and reset them.
Once they were reset, I was going through the system log the following day and they had a huge gap in the files. I was missing entries for the entire week leading up to that outage. I had looked at my logs during the week, and saw many entries in there, however they were all now missing.
Has anybody seen this type of thing? A hard reset corrupts your log and it starts overwriting from about the same random point in time on all 4 passports? Nortel is not providing any help and in my own attempts to reproduce this issue have all been unsuccessful. I can cut the power, kick it, and all the logs remain just as they were.
On a hard reset like that I found that the system will stop writing to the current xxx.000 file and begin writing to a new one. However that old .000 file should still be there with all the info.
