Boot; Interpreting Post Results - Cisco 9124 - MDS Fabric Switch User Manual

Boot

Boot completes in approximately three minutes if POST is run. Boot includes the following tasks after
POST completes:
• Universal port configuration
• Links initialized
• The fabric is analyzed, and if any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates
in a fabric configuration
• The switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses
• Unicast routing tables constructed
• Normal port operation enabled

Interpreting POST results

To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected:
1. Verify that the switch LEDs indicate all components are healthy. See
interpretation of LED patterns.
2. Verify that the switch prompt appears on the terminal of a computer workstation connected to the
switch. If there is no switch prompt when POST completes, press Enter. If the switch prompt still
does not appear, try opening another telnet session or another management tool. If this is not
successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST. Contact HP.
3. Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written to the system
log, accessible through the show logging logfile command. For information about all
referenced commands and accessing the error log, and error messages, refer to the Cisco MDS
9000 Family System Messages Guide.
