NVIDIA • CODE SXid 63 HGX H100 SXM5 Tensor Core GPU Critical

H100 SXid 63 NVLink Error

SXid 63 designates an uncorrectable fatal hardware error on one or more NVLink4 interconnect links, typically caused by link retrain exhaustion, physical transceiver/pad degradation, or socket cold-solder/interposer micro-fractures, halting distributed NCCL training runs.

NVIDIA • CODE XID 79 HGX H200 SXM5 Critical

H200 GPU Fallen Off Bus

NVIDIA driver logged XID 79 indicating the GPU has fallen off the PCIe/NVLink bus. This is triggered when an uncorrectable double-bit ECC memory error (DBE) or link-layer parity collapse isolates the HBM3e subsystem, causing the ASIC microcontroller to halt execution and sever host MMIO communication.

NVIDIA • CODE SXid 119 HGX H100 8-GPU Board Critical

NVSwitch Fabric Link Down Uncorrectable

An uncorrectable physical layer or data link layer error occurred on the NVLink 4.0 interconnect between an H100 Tensor Core GPU and an on-board NVSwitch 3 ASIC, triggering a fatal link-down event and hardware isolation.

Nginx • CODE 502 Nginx Web & Reverse Proxy High

502 Bad Gateway

HTTP status 502 Bad Gateway indicates that Nginx, acting as a reverse proxy or load balancer, received an invalid response or no response at all from the upstream backend server (PHP-FPM, Node.js, Python Gunicorn, or Go microservice).

Kubernetes • CODE CrashLoopBackOff Kubelet & Pod Workloads High

Pod CrashLoopBackOff

CrashLoopBackOff is a Kubernetes state indicating that a container in a Pod is repeatedly crashing immediately after start. Kubelet introduces an exponential backoff delay (10s, 20s, 40s... up to 5 mins) before trying to restart it.

Docker • CODE dial-unix-docker-sock Docker Engine & Compose Medium

Permission Denied: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock

This error occurs when a non-root user executes the `docker` CLI command without having read/write permissions on the UNIX domain socket `/var/run/docker.sock`, or when the Docker systemd daemon service is not running.
