Hello,   Good luck.  That bug you referenced would only cause a failover to the other controller.  The "WATCHDOG" is a monitoring process that if it encounters a problem it will cause the active controller to restart to force the failover. In the case of the passive CM not responding it will restart that one also.  The WATCHDOG message is very generic.   Regards,  Don
Hi, We have a dell EqualLogic ps4100 storage array with a firmware version of, I believe, 7.0.0 and Bootloader Version 3.6.4. It has been purchased a few years back and we no longer have an active support plan. It is now in a reboot loop saying "ERROR:15.4.3:NVRAM contains valid data. This is a WATCHDOG RECOVERY due to the watchdog on a NetBSD processor." I looked around and found out that firmware version 7.0.x have a bug that will result in this issue after 200+ days of uptime. The solution suggested is to update the firmware (which we cannot do because we no longer have a support plan). Is there another way to fix this without resetting the array?
