HDX 7000 rebooting

[Davros]

Hi All,

We have half a dozen HDX 7000's in use in our organisation that were installed a couple of months back. One of them has rebooted a couple of times during a video call today to another Polycom device. I had a look at the logs and noticed the following two entries in the error log:

2013-01-08 01:12:59 CRITICAL watchdogd: proc 3 not responding
2013-01-08 01:19:31 CRITICAL watchdogd: proc 5 not responding

I am wondering if anyone can shed any light as to the meaning of the above entries?

It is running firmware version 3.0.5-22695

Thanks

Is your post in any way related to the above error message on a Polycom HDX or is it a general PC issue?

If it is a PC issue then you are unfortunately in the wrong place.

Hello Steven,

I saw the post at url http://community.polycom.com/t5/Video-Endpoints/HDX-7000-rebooting/m-p/26694

I have a Polycom G3 HDX-8000 running firmware version Nordic 3.0.5 Release build #22695.  I have received CRITICAL watchdogd: proc 1 not responding, error messages.  Is this a hardware issue?  My HDX-8000 system reported this error for approximately a month and then stopped logging errors.  Can this error be generated due to a hard power down (power outage) or improper shutdown?

Just recently we have been experiencing loss of video and or sound but not at the same time.  I checked the error log on 01/28/2013 and saw the watchdog errors.  Should I be concerned, what is this error message?

Same issue here.  HDX 8000 HD.  We have a few of them.  Many of them report the same issue (Watchdog Timer not responding) which ends up as a reboot during a VC.  Other systems report same watchdog timer error.  (Some of them hang on long enough for the VC To finish).  After CPU load drops,  Appears to recover.  However.  On the advice of our provider.  We updated firmware on this one particular unit.  It did not solve the problem.  Any suggestions ??? (Other than contacting support) as our provider is no longer "Providing" for us.  And Polycom warrenty status is unknown.

Many thanks
