Hello all, I have brought this up as a NetApp community string: https://communities.netapp.com/thread/25901
I hope we can get more information from other users too.
Regards, Unnikrishnan KP

We met with our Netapp team today and received the technical explanation we needed to move forward with the hardware replacement option.
As one reply already mentioned, there is a real hardware issue identified with the 32xx/62xx series and Netapp is now working to proactively replace the parts with suspect PCM (DRAM), SAS, IOxM chips
our clusters operate in active:standby mode so we won't need downtime or risk of production failover for this fix.
thanks

I am only a newbie with NetApps, however have some experience with rackmount servers as I have 2 racks' worth of them :)
A machine check exception is generated by the CPU, usually.
This Wikipedia page tells you in general what is going on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Check_Exception
so the 2nd core (CPU1, not CPU0) had a problem (in the original post on this thread).
The problem was not correctable and seems to have been on the PCI Express bus (either on the bridge chip itself, or a device connected to it).
You are not the only person to experience this (found via google): https://twitter.com/nerdicwalker/status/110360608121167873
They require diagnosis because the error message is not specific enough to figure out what is going on.
The only times I have seen this in my systems (non-NA) were 1) bad or slightly incompatible RAM, easily fixed 2) motherboard was bad and I stopped using it. So, there is a quite a range as to what can be going on.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
PS am looking for FAS250 or so on the cheap for testing / dev work if anyone has one. _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list Toasters@teaparty.net http://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters
