Hi folks,

I have a question here, what can be the main root cause of the following NIC failure, which caused the failover event to take place?
I did check that there is no cable connection loss as the server rack is properly locked all the time.
Also, there is no red lights near the NIC card slots.
Attached is the server diagnostic info, using "prtdiag- v" command.
