[Sunhelp] GBIC Failures...

[Gregory Leblanc]

What are the GBIC cards?  I don't get to work on enterprise systems at
work, but a friend of mine gets to play with a lot of nice bight shiny new
sun hardware, so I can ask...

We've recently had a high number (4) failures of the GBIC cards in some
E450 and E3500 systems. We're begining to get a bit concerned that we're
not just seeing random failures, but some kind of problem with the GBIC
cards that are causing them to go out quickly (the replacement unit one
system lasted about 2 months). 

Is anyone else running into a high failure rate with the GBIC cards, or
have they been pretty stable for everyone?
