Verify the LPC and NPC Configuration

Verify the LPC and NPC Configuration

The following sections describe procedures that can be used to verify the configuration of the Log
Processing Card (LPC) and Network Processing Card (NPC).

Verify the LPC Configuration

After the LPC and AMC/drives are installed in the chassis, it will take a few minutes before the drives
are formatted and put into the RAID configuration. Drives A1 and A2 will be one RAID 1 pair and
drivers B1 and B2 will be configured as a second RAID 1 pair. All four AMC/drives should be installed
in the LPC during normal operation.
Note: The chassis will not operate without a functioning LPC that has at least one
RAID 1 pair configured. During normal operation, all four drives should be
installed.
To view the status of the RAID configuration, run the following command:
admin@PA-7050> show system raid detail
Confirm that at least one RAID 1 pair shows Available, which indicates that a drive pair is ready
and the LPC can process and receive logs. The initial formatting to ready the drives should take
approximately 3-4 minutes. In the following output, Disk Pair S8A shows Available and the
status of the first RAID 1 is clean. The second RAID 1 pair (Disk Pair S8B) is also ready.

Each drive in the RAID 1 pairs will also show model, size, status, and the card serial number. The
following output shows a working disk and the possible status level:
