Verifying Correct Operation of the System

About this task

Complete the following steps to verify correct operation of the device:

Procedure

  1. Log on to the device as admin.
    
    switch:admin> login
    login: admin
    password: xxxxxxxx
    switch:admin>
  2. Enter the chassisShow command to verify that the airflow direction set on WWN cards matches the airflow direction for fans in fan and power supply assemblies installed in the device.
    The airflow direction of the fans and the power supplies displays as "Fan Direction" under each fan or power supply unit. The system airflow direction displays as "System Airflow" under the WWN card unit. The following example shows the mismatch of the system airflow and the airflow direction in the installed fan and the power supply.
    POWER SUPPLY  Unit: 1
    Power Source:           AC
    Fan Direction:          Non-portside Intake
    ...
    FAN  Unit: 2
    Fan Direction:          Non-portside Intake
    ...
    WWN  Unit: 1
    System AirFlow:         Non-portside Exhaust
    ...
    WWN  Unit: 2
    System AirFlow:         Non-portside Exhaust

    The WWN units should indicate "Non-portside Intake." If there is a mismatch of airflow direction, RASlog messages will indicate a mismatch between the system airflow direction and the airflow direction of fan in power supply or fan assembly. See Configuring the Airflow Direction on WWN Cards for instructions on configuring correct airflow direction on WWN cards.

  3. Enter the slotShow -m command and verify that all the installed cards are detected and that their status is operational (enabled).
    
    switch:admin> slotShow -m

  4. Verify that the device is functioning correctly by entering the switchShow command or the switchStatusShow command.

    This switchShow command displays the device and port status information.
