Using Maintenance Features
Executing an IPL
CAUTION
!
The Ethernet connection between the Connectrix service processor
and switch is interrupted momentarily during an IPL.
CAUTION
!
An IPL is not intended for ordinary or casual use and should be
performed only if the active CTP is suspected to be faulty. Do not
use this option unless directed by your support representative or if
you need to reset a failed CTP. An IPL disrupts port operations;
before using this option, make sure the administrator(s) of attached
devices quiese Fibre Channel traffic through the switch and take
the devices off line.
If it is necessary to execute an IPL on the switch, follow these steps:
1. Click Maintenance on the Product Manager menu bar and select
IPL on the drop-down menu.
2. A window appears, asking you to confirm the IPL. Click Yes.
Performing an IPL causes the Ethernet connection between the switch
and Connectrix service processor to drop momentarily and the
following to occur in the Product Manager window:
â—† As the network connection drops, the DS-32M2 Status table on
the Hardware view turns yellow.
â—† The Status field in the table displays No Link and the State field
displays the reason for no link.
â—† A grey square appears in the alert panel. Refer to Table 4-1 on
page 4-5 for an explanation of this alert symbol.
â—† The FRUs in the illustration in the Hardware view do not appear.
They will reappear as the connection is reestablished.
