Interpreting POST and boot results
The SAN384B performs power on self test (POST) by default each time the system
is powered on, rebooted, or reset. The system can be rebooted using the reboot (to
reboot each CP individually), or fastBoot commands. The fastBoot command
reboots the SAN384B without running POST. If the active CP blade is rebooted, it
fails over to the standby CP blade.
POST
To verify that POST has completed without error:
v Verify that all LEDs return to a normal state after POST completes (see
Chapter 4, “Monitoring system components,” on page 45).
If one or more LEDs do not return to a normal state, and this is not due to the
SAN384B being set to beacon, refer to the relevant LED table to identify and
correct the problem. For port blades, router blades, and CP blades, the slotShow
command can be used to check the status of the slots. For information about
turning beaconing on/off, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
v Verify that the switch prompt displays when POST completes.
If it does not display, POST was not successfully completed. Contact IBM for
support.
v Review the system error log using the errShow or errDump commands.
v Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log, which is
accessible through the errShow command. For information about error
messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference.
POST includes the following steps:
1. Preliminary POST diagnostics are run.
2. Operating system is initialized.
3. Hardware is initialized.
