Troubleshooting the Boot Process
Troubleshooting the Boot Process
There are three phases in the boot process during which the CSS runs diagnostic tests on the hardware and checks the boot configuration. With the CSS 11501, the internal motherboard boots all components in the chassis and verifies that they are properly functioning. With the CSS 11503 and CSS 11506, the SCM boots each module in the chassis and verifies that the module is functioning properly. During any of these phases, the CSS reports problems through error messages.
The following sections provide information on:
•Diagnostic Tests for Hardware
•OffDM Verification of the Boot Configuration Record and Disk
•CSS 11501 Boot and Verification
•SCM Boot and Verification of the Modules
For information about the boot process, refer to Chapter 3, Booting and
Configuring the CSS.
Diagnostic Tests for Hardware
At the beginning of the boot process, the CSS performs diagnostic tests on the hardware. When the CSS powers up, it displays the following messages (shown for the CSS 11503 and CSS 11506).
