Error External Table Tuning Failed(-51) from HAL on CardExec INIT(5)

[Michael_Peel]

Card 8900-G48X-xl failing with "Error External Table Tuning Failed(-51) from HAL on CardExec INIT(5)."

I am running version 12.5.4.5 on the MSM (MSM-48C) so the card should be happy with it at least I believe that it should be.

I have swapped out the RAM (with known good) on the card with no change.
Is this card just dead?

Extended Diags on the MSM past with flying colors.

Hmm. Unfortunately, that's no guarantee there isn't a HW failure. The diagnostics code has improved with later and later versions of EXOS.

As Drew mentioned, there is one occurrence of this error in our internal bug tracker on a 12.5.x version, and this does smell like a HW failure...but it might be worth it to move to EXOS v15.6.4.2-patch1-7 to see if the error recurs/newer diagnostics code can pick up a failure.

Have you tried running diags on that MSM?

Replaced the RAM per my Boss telling me to try it since I was getting this error with it. The Original RAM is back in with no change. I did notice that while the card is loading if I show the slot the download % will cycle about 5 times from 50 - 100 until the card goes to a failed status.
