ERS 5900 v7.0 software bugs

[telecom116]

Just got a new pair of ERS 5952 switches and immediately found a software bug where "show interfaces" in ACLI would show some with an error "% ifIndex instance not found".  EDM also reflects the same ports unavailable (greyed-out).

Any other known bugs in ERS 5900 7.0 code?

I think by running the brand new switches on brand new initial release code you volunteered to beta test for the rest of us.

That's what I was afraid of.     Been there before with Nortel.Avaya (years ago was an early site for ERS 8600 5.0.0.0 code; needed because for new 8634XGRS blade install.  Happened to have a nasty bug where a switch lane would stop routing on that blade.  Of course my core fiber ring happened to be on that blade.

Someone has to die on the bleeding edge of technology so the rest of us might live.

Hi telecom116,

I took part on the beta test for v7.x and I did not recognized that issue. Maybe an hint - please reset that 5900 to factory defaults.
In my LAB both ERS-5900 are shown correctly in COM3.1.1/3.1.2 - also in ACLI.

Good luck

Experienced the same issues after splitting the stack and resetting each back to factory defaults.  Next swapped the two units (making the non-base the base and vise-versa).  The problem actually moved to two other ports, but also on Unit 2.

According to Avaya there is a wi number issued for the problem (ie, it's a known issue), but from the questions being asked by support, I'm not sure they've found a root cause.

At least Avaya is releasing newer code now for the 5900's.  I didn't see your specific issue addressed, but at least they are releasing patches now.

I had to put the switches into production, so the new code has to be scheduled in with lots of people.
