After adding a VCP link to the Virtual Chassis (VC), the log message "Uninitialized EDMEM[0x16f2580] Read (0x6db6db6d6db6db6d)" appears on multiple Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) of the backup member.
This article explains that the log message is triggered by corrupt packets coming from the newly added VCP link.
After adding a VCP link to the VC, the log message "Uninitialized EDMEM[0x16f2580] Read (0x6db6db6d6db6db6d)" appears on multiple FPCs of the backup member.

Multiple PPE Trap/Ttrace files are also generated when the above logs are reported:

The log messages continue to appear even after all affected FPCs are rebooted.
Upon analysis of the PPE/TTRACE files, most of the traffic is seen to come across the VCP link.
Also the following "lsp checksum error" log is always seen immediately before the EDMEM error log:

This log is triggered by corrupt packets coming from the newly added VCP link. Further the memory information inside does not exist.
When you remove the newly added VCP link, the EDMEM error log will no longer be seen.
