i found this error in syslog when i check the cisco 6509 today.

"Nov 7 08:52:28: %MISTRAL-3-ERROR: Error condition detected:
TM_DATA_PARITY_ERROR"

this appears only one time, and i checked the cisco.com, and found
this explanation:
"The most common errors from the Mistral ASIC on the MSFC are
TM_DATA_PARITY_ERROR,
SYSDRAM_PARITY_ERROR, SYSAD_PARITY_ERROR, and TM_NPP_PARITY_ERROR.
Possible causes of these parity errors are random static discharge or
other external factors."

has anyone had come across this error before? do i have to do anything
except monitoring the switch syslog to confirm whether the error
message was an isolated one?

I wouldn't be concerned unless the message was repeated.
