Troubleshooting System for OS-6624/6648 and OS-7/8XXX

OmniSwitch Troubleshooting Guide

If the switch is having any problems the first place to look for is the CMM. All the task are supervised by 
CMM. Any in coherency between CMM and the NI can cause problems to appear. 

1 The first step for troubleshooting problems with the switch is to look at the overall general health of the 
switch.

Verify that all of the modules in the chassis are up and operational, using the command:

-> show module status

Operational                Firmware
Slot     Status      Admin-Status   Rev           MAC
------+-------------+------------+---------+-----------------
CMM-A    UP           POWER ON      36      00:d0:95:6b:09:40

NI-1     UP           POWER ON      5       00:d0:95:6b:22:5c

NI-3     UP           POWER ON      5       00:d0:95:6b:23:2e

NI-5     UP           POWER ON      5       00:d0:95:6b:3a:20

If the switch is having any problems the first place to look for is the CMM. All the task are supervised by 
CMM. Any in coherency between CMM and the NI can cause problems to appear. For OS-6600 with 8 
units stacked together, the CMM will be:

• Primary

• Secondary

• Idle

The switch with the lowest ID will become the primary CMM. 

The first step for troubleshooting problems with the switch is to look at the overall general health of the 
switch. 

Verify that all of the modules in the chassis are up and operational, using the command:

-> show module status

CMM-1    UP           POWER ON      N/A     00:d0:95:84:4b:d2

CMM-2    SECONDARY    POWER ON      N/A     00:d0:95:84:4b:d2
