Power On Self-Test; Checking Post Results; Configuring San Switch 2/32 Network Addressing - HP StorageWorks 2/32 - SAN Switch Installation Manual

Power On Self-Test

Each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, it automatically runs
POST. During POST, the port status LEDs flash, verifying that the switch is
operating properly. POST completes in approximately six minutes, with total boot
time approximately seven minutes.
POST runs through the following test cycles:
If the switch prompt does not display when POST completes, POST is
unsuccessful. Contact your authorized HP switch supplier for more information.
To determine whether POST completed without errors, verify that all LEDs return
to a normal state after POST is complete. If one or more LEDs do not return to a
normal state (and this is not due to the switch being set to beacon), see
"Interpreting LED
Note:
OS 4.2.x Procedures User Guide .

Checking POST Results

Check the success/fail results of the diagnostic tests run during POST via LED
activity, the error log, or CLI using the errShow command. For more
information about error messages, refer to the HP StorageWorks Diagnostic and
System Error Messages 4.2.x Reference Guide.
