Solution

If the number of correctable and uncorrectable errors is the same in the ECC error message, it means that the errors being detected can actually be corrected and are immediately corrected as well.

In the above symptoms we see the correctable errors are more and these do not cause any service impact. Reboot of FPC is needed in MW to clear these errors.
