If it is necessary for you to execute an IPL on the switch, use the following steps:
1. Select IPL from the Maintenance menu on the menu bar.
Figure 46: IPL Confirmation dialog box
2. Click Yes.
Selecting IPL from the Maintenance menu causes Ethernet connection between
the switch and HAFM server to drop momentarily and the following to occur in
the Product Manager window:
156
Caution: The Ethernet connection between the HAFM server and switch is
interrupted momentarily during an initial program load (IPL). However, this
does not interrupt Fibre Channel traffic.
Caution: An IPL is not intended for ordinary or casual use and should only be
performed if the control processor (CTP) card is suspected to be faulty. Do not
use this option unless directed by your support representative or if you need to
reset a failed CTP card.
A dialog box displays confirming the IPL.
As the network connection drops, the switch Status table on the Hardware
View turns yellow.
The Status field in the table displays "No Link" and the State field displays
the reason for no link.
A grey square displays in the status bar. Refer to
explanation of this status bar display.
The FRUs illustrated in the Hardware View do not display. They display
again as the connection is re-established.
