Brocade Communications Systems DCX 8510-4 Manual De Usuario

Troubleshooting

C

Initial set up results in IP 
address/Domain ID conflict.

The Brocade DCX 8510-4 was connected to 
the fabric before being configured.

See the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for 
configuration information.

LEDs on one or more components 
are changing rapidly or do not 
indicate a healthy state.

The Brocade DCX 8510-4 might be booting or 
running POST. 

Verify that boot and POST are complete. The Brocade 
DCX 8510-4 requires a minimum of 3 minutes, 
usually, after power-on to complete POST.

Beaconing might be on for the entire Brocade 
DCX 8510-4 or for individual components.

Determine whether beaconing is on by typing the 
switchShow command and determine whether 
switch beaconing or blade beaconing are on.

Individual components might have failed.

See the LED tables in Chapter 4, Monitor System 
Components for interpretation and recommended 
actions.

Pins on the components might be damaged.

Remove the component from the chassis and 
inspect the pins on the component and inside the 
chassis. Do not reinstall if pins on either component 
are damaged, as this could damage pins on other 
components. Replace the parts as required.

None of the LEDs on a component 
are on.

Component might not be seated correctly.

Ensure that the Brocade DCX 8510-4 has power and 
the component is firmly seated. If the problem 
continues, enter the sensorShow command to 
determine the component status. If the component 
is a CP blade or port blade, enter the slotShow 
command to determine the status. 

Component might have failed.

Replace the component as necessary.

CP blades are failing over frequently.  There is excessive serial port activity.

Ensure that the serial port activity remains below 
specified amount.

CP blade is attached to an Ethernet with high 
traffic loads.

Ensure that the Ethernet traffic remains below 
specified amount

Chassis is overheated.

Enter the tempshow and sensorShow commands to 
check internal temperature. If components are 
overheating, shut down port blades as necessary to 
return the temperature to operating range.
Also try moving the blades in the chassis since it is 
possible that airflow might not be adequate to cool 
everything in certain configurations.
