Step 1 Right-click the module and select Module on Device Manager or use the show module CLI command
to verify the status of the module.
Step 2 Choose Logs > Switch Resident > Syslog > Sever Events on Device Manager or use the show logging
CLI command to search for common reload problems.
Step 3 Use the show module internal exception module CLI command to view the exception log.

Table 4-12 Module is Automatically Reloaded
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
Module is
automatically
reloaded.
Module experienced
heartbeat failures.
Choose Logs > Switch Resident > Syslog > Sever Events on Device
Manager or use the show logging CLI command to verify bootup
problems.
Use the show module internal event-history module CLI command and
look for
Triggered event: [LCM_EV_LCP_ALIVE_TIMEOUT]
to verify that the module did not respond to heartbeat requests. Right-click
the module in Device Manager and select Reset or use the reload module
CLI command to restart the module. See the “Reinitializing a Failed
Module Using Fabric Manager” section on page 4-36 or the
“Reinitializing a Failed Module Using the CLI” section on page 4-37.
The module experienced
runtime diagnostic failures.
Verify the cause of the failure. See the “Diagnosing a Reloaded Module”
section on page 4-33. Right-click the module in Device Manager and
select Reset or use the reload module CLI command to restart the module.
See the “Reinitializing a Failed Module Using Fabric Manager” section on
page 4-36 or the “Reinitializing a Failed Module Using the CLI” section
on page 4-37.
Module lost synchronize
with the fabric.
Use the show system internal xbar internal event-history errors and look
for something similar to:
Rx MTS_OPC_SSA_LOST_SYNC_SERIAL slot 8
fabric 0 link 0
to verify that the module lost sync with the fabric.
Right-click the module in Device Manager and select Reset or use the
reload module CLI command to restart the module. See the
“Reinitializing a Failed Module Using Fabric Manager” section on
page 4-36 or the “Reinitializing a Failed Module Using the CLI” section
on page 4-37.
