Interpreting Post results, Boot | Cisco Systems 9124E manual

Boot

Boot completes in approximately three minutes if POST is run. Boot includes the following tasks after POST completes:

•Universal port configuration

•Links initialized

•The fabric is analyzed, and if any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration

•The switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses

•Unicast routing tables constructed

•Normal port operation enabled

Interpreting POST results

To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected:

1.Verify that the switch LEDs indicate all components are healthy. See Table 12 for description and interpretation of LED patterns.

2.Verify that the switch prompt appears on the terminal of a computer workstation connected to the switch. If there is no switch prompt when POST completes, press Enter. If the switch prompt still does not appear, try opening another telnet session or another management tool. If this is not successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST. Contact HP.

3.Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log, accessible through the show logging logfile command. For information about all referenced commands and accessing the error log, and error messages, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family System Messages Guide.
