Faulty chassis indicators
Verify that replacement of the chassis is necessary. Ensure that the components are firmly seated when troubleshooting,
and contact your support provider with any questions about whether the chassis should be replaced.
Any of the following events might indicate the need to replace the chassis:
•
Visible mechanical damage to the chassis, including damage to sheet metal or card guides that prevents correct
installation of a blade.
•
Bent or damaged connectors on the backplane (the surface inside the chassis to which the blades connect).
•
One or more components (such as a power supply, blower assembly, port blade, control processor blade, core switch
blade, or WWN card) do not function properly even after the component was replaced.
•
Intermittent FAULTY codes for blades. Reseat the blade and visually inspect the right ejector stiffening rail for possible
wear or damage. It is important that the blade ejector handles not slip out during blade installation. If this happens, it is
usually due to excessive wear or damage to the right-hand ejector stiffening rail.
•
The psShow or fanShow commands continue to show a faulty component even though the component was replaced.
•
The slotShow command continues to show a faulty control processor, core switch, or port blade even though the blade
was replaced.
Recording critical device and SAN information
Use a checklist, such as the following, to ensure that critical information is recorded for installing the new chassis.
This information includes current chassis IP addresses, license keys, the new chassis serial number, and output from
supportShow. fabricShow, and other commands. Save output from commands to text files listed in the table.
All commands must be entered from a CLI session (Telnet or serial) to the active CP blade unless otherwise indicated. For
detailed information about Fabric OS commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.
