Identify A Faulty CP Card

To determine if the CP card has actually failed, connect to one of the switches in the chassis and execute
the slotShow and haShow command. In an active-standby scenario, if the active CP card fails, the HAM
software automatically fails over to the standby CP card. This typically takes 30 seconds or more to
failover. If the standby CP card fails, the fabric continues to operate and a message is sent to the console
and the error log.
To determine if a CP card is marginal or faulty:
1. Check the LED status on the card.
2. Connect to a switch in the chassis.
3. Check status of the CP cards using slotShow and haShow commands.
