When running ethtool I notice a very high level of rx_crc_errors. When the server is under heavy load the counter goes even higher. What does this typically point to as the source of the problem? Media or cable issues?
What does a high number of rx_crc_errors indicate

Typically errors of this type (errors that indicate bad data integrity) are the result of layer 1 problems. I'd investigate cabling and the physical layer interface first.
