Using USB Autorun

Troubleshooting Autorun OperationsYou can verify autorun operations by checking the following items:

USB Auxiliary Port LEDs. The following table shows LED indications on the Auxiliary Port that allow you to identify the different USB operation states.

Color

State

Meaning

 

 

 

Green

Slow Blinking

Switch is processing USB AutoRun file.

Green

Solid

Switch has finished processing USB AutoRun file. This LED

 

 

state indicates the AutoRun file was successfully executed,

 

 

and the report files were generated. The report files may be

 

 

reviewed on a USB-enabled computer for more details. Upon

 

 

removal of the USB device, the LED will be turned OFF.

n/a

Off

Indicates that no USB device has been inserted, or that a USB

 

 

device that cannot be recognized as a USB storage device has

 

 

been inserted, or that no AutoRun file can be found on the

 

 

inserted USB device. If the USB device has just been removed

 

 

from the port, the switch will execute any post commands.

Amber

Fast Blinking

Processing Error. The AutoRun file will stop processing when

 

 

an error is encountered (for example, no more disk space is

 

 

available on the USB device to write the result and report files).

 

 

Remove the USB device and inspect its contents on a USB-

 

 

enabled computer for more information on the error.

 

 

 

AutoRun Status Files. The following files are generated during autorun operations and written to the USB flash drive:

Report file(s) (.xml file)—shows which CLI commands have been run. The file name includes a serial number and datetime stamp to indicate when and on which device the AutoRun file was executed.

Result file(s) (.txt file)—contains the CLI output for each command that was run on the switch, allowing you to verify whether a command was executed successfully or not.

N o t e

PCM+ provides a mechanism to read these status files and capture the results

 

of the commands executed. It also allows you to verify the report files for their

 

authenticity and reject files that have not been signed (refer to the ProCurve

 

Manager documentation for details).

 

The status files will not include any records of post commands that may have

 

been executed after the USB flash drive was removed from the switch.
