hwFatalErr
Module: CTATX-MIB
OID (symbolic): CTATX-MIB::hwFatalErr
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.1.2.1.19
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-only
Description: This is a 32 byte array which contains information about the cause of the module's last unexpected self-reset, since the ES/1 booted.For the Packet Processing Engine and Turbo, this will always be all zeroes, since failure of such a module will cause the ES/1 to reboot. For the other modules, this field either contains all zeroes (if the module has not self-reset), or it contains values according to the format of configFatalErr, with a first byte of either 'Watchdog Timeout' (1) or 'Fatal Error' (3).
What is hwFatalErr?
This read-only OCTET STRING of 32 bytes, always all zeroes for the Packet Processing Engine and Turbo boards since a failure of either instead reboots the whole ES/1, contains information about the cause of a module's last unexpected self-reset since the ES/1 booted. An admin reads this after noticing an IOM module reset unexpectedly, to get diagnostic detail on why. For example, a non-zero hwFatalErr value on an IOM module that silently reset overnight gives the admin a specific fault code to investigate, whereas the same class of failure on the PPE or Turbo would instead have caused a full chassis reboot.
