cage
Displays drive cage conditions that are not optimal and reports exceptions if any of the following
do not have normal states:
• Ports
• SFP signal levels (RX power low and TX failure)
• Power supplies
• Cage firmware (is not current)
• Reports if a servicecage operation has been started and has not ended.
• Cages are supported for hardware platform

cage Suggested Action 1
Check the connection/path to the SFP in the cage and the level of signal the SFP is receiving. An
RX Power reading below 100 µW signals the RX Power Low condition; typical readings are between
300 and 400 µW. Helpful CLI commands are showcage -d and showcage -sfp ddm.
At least two connections are expected for drive cages, and this exception is flagged if that is not
the case.
