      Hello,

      We have a host that will crash once every couple of months, taking down all VMs on it and rebooting itself after a few minutes.

      We are running XCP-ng 8.1 on a Supermicro chassis. Supermicro's own health-check tooling reports the hardware is OK. We have a few other servers with exact same hardware that do not have this issue.

      The crash-logs are very very verbose which is good but I am not sure what information is the most relevant. In the dom0.log I see the following which looks to be the cause:

      Does anyone have a clue to what could be done to resolve this or further narrow down where this is coming from?

      Cheers,

        Hi,

        You mean XCP-ng 8.2.1, right?

        The usual tour: check if all your firmware/BIOS are up-to-date, but that look like a firmware bug to me 🤔

          @NielsH The X11DPT BIOS update has about 100 bug fix/update notes. Also check the hardware SEL (System Event Log). It's a good idea to run a full memory check (should take an hour or two, longer if you have the time). You can boot memtest86+ as a ISO to run a standalone memory check.

            Hi,

            Yes, indeed 8.2.1. Was a typo 🙂

            I've updated the BIOS to 3.5. We'll have to see since it only happens every few months and I did not find a way to reproduce it.

            Andrew: System Event Log (in the IPMI Interface) shows nothing. Memtest/Supermicro health check tool also shows no errors (sadly).

            From this error, since it mentions tcp, could it indicate the cause might also be a NIC or NIC firmware?

              Yes, this is something I would double check: NIC issue or NIC firmware.
