ProCurve 6600 Reboots - Solution

We’ve got an update to our case regarding the spontaneous reboots of our 6600’s. Well, the cause of the reboot isn’t always a memory leak or other violations… Sometimes the real issue is a layer deeper..

With only one PSU the switch may reboot after ~256 days, with two PSUs the time’s divided by two, ~152 days. Now, don’t care about power redundancy and get a longer interval, or plug in both PSUs and create a recurring event in you PIM. Thankfully the engineers at HP uploaded a new version of the firmware, where the issue shoudl be solved. Be sure to get at least
