Index Time Alert Message
1 2019-07-05 13:56:25 Abnormal network errors detected on Network Interface Controller Embedded (LOM) Port 1. The errors could be caused by network congestion or packet errors. Recovery actions: First, check your network. If that does not resolve the problem, then replace the NIC card. If the NIC is embedded, the storage appliance requires service.
Events:
CRITICAL 2019-07-05 13:56:25 NIC controller Embedded (LOM) Port 1 packet error rate reaches critical threshold.
Try Swapping a Network cable for a port that is not producing any errors to see if the errors follow the cable or remain with problem port. Let the system run for 24 to 48 hours to determine this.
Significant errors report eth0 and eth1 even after the cable switch

Final Analysis:
Swapping the Cable from eth0 to eth1 narrowed down more than just a new cable, it can rule out switch port/path/cable....IE everything but the card. Since the errors are stil reporting what is left is the NIC looks to be bad and need replacement.
