Use this procedure to verify the operational status of all Cisco NCS 1001 nodes from XR EXEC and System Admin EXEC modes.

Ensure all nodes display expected hardware and software states.

You can verify node status by using the show platform command independently from Cisco IOS XR EXEC mode and System Admin EXEC mode.

Follow these steps to verify node status:

Procedure

1.

Enter the show platform command to display Cisco IOS XR platform status.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# show platform
Sun Mar  5 02:53:27.755 CET
Node              Type                       State             Config state
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0/0               NCS1001-K9                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/3               NCS1K-EDFA                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/RP0/CPU0        NCS1K-CNTLR2(Active)       IOS XR RUN        NSHUT
0/FT0             NCS1K1-FAN                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FT1             NCS1K1-FAN                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FT2             NCS1K1-FAN                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FT3             NCS1K1-FAN                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

If Cisco IOS XR is not operational and no output appears, use show sdr in System Admin EXEC mode to verify the SDR state on the node.
2.

Use the admin command to enter System Admin EXEC mode.

Example:

 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# admin
3.

Enter the show platform command to display information and status for each node.

Example:

sysadmin-vm:0_RP0# show platform
Sun Mar  5  01:56:15.749 UTC
Location  Card Type               HW State      SW State      Config State
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0/0       NCS1001-K9              OPERATIONAL   N/A           NSHUT
0/3       NCS1K-EDFA              OPERATIONAL   N/A           NSHUT
0/RP0     NCS1K-CNTLR2            OPERATIONAL   OPERATIONAL   NSHUT
0/FT0     NCS1K1-FAN              OPERATIONAL   N/A           NSHUT
0/FT1     NCS1K1-FAN              OPERATIONAL   N/A           NSHUT
0/FT2     NCS1K1-FAN              OPERATIONAL   N/A           NSHUT
0/FT3     NCS1K1-FAN              OPERATIONAL   N/A           NSHUT

Verify that all the modules of NCS 1001 are displayed in the result. The software state and the hardware state must be in the OPERATIONAL state. The various hardware and software states are:

Hardware states:

  • OPERATIONAL—Node is operating normally and is fully functional.

  • POWERED_ON—Power is on and the node is booting up.

  • FAILED—Node is powered on but has experienced some internal failure.

  • PRESENT—Node is in the shutdown state.

  • OFFLINE—User has changed the node state to OFFLINE. The node is accessible for diagnostics.

Software states:

  • OPERATIONAL—Software is operating normally and is fully functional.

  • DIAG_MODE—User has changed the card state to OFFLINE for diagnosis.

  • SW_INACTIVE—Software is not completely operational.

  • FAILED—Software is operational but the card has experienced some internal failure.

  • N/A—Valid option for modules where software is not running.

4.

Enter the show platform detail command to display the detailed platform state information for each node.

Example:

sysadmin-vm:0_RP0# show platform detail
Sun Mar  5  01:57:40.918 UTC
