A dialog box displays confirming the IPL.
Figure 5–1: 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:
• 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.
An IPL initiates the following functions in the switch:
• Restarts the operational firmware on the CTP card, executes abbreviated power on
system tests (POSTs) and then, if no POST errors are encountered, the switch
resumes the active role that it had before the IPL. Note that the CTP card is an
internal component and is not a FRU.
• Resets the Ethernet interface on the CTP card, causing the connection to the
HAFM server to drop momentarily. The status symbol for the switch in the
Product View will change to a gray square until the connection is re-established.
• Stops normal switching functions for ports (functions resume after the IPL).
