Log in

Use this procedure to verify that Cisco NCS 1001 hardware components are installed, visible, and operating in the expected state.

Confirm that the Cisco NCS 1001 hardware and software components are operational and properly installed.

Use Cisco IOS XR EXEC mode and System Admin EXEC mode to verify that the system displays the expected components and that the states are operational.

Before you begin

Ensure that all required hardware components are installed on Cisco NCS 1001. For installation details, see Cisco Network Convergence System 1001 Hardware Installation Guide.

Follow these steps to verify the status of hardware components:

Procedure

1.

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

Example:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# show platform
Sun Mar  5 02:33:53.075 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

The output must show Cisco IOS XR in the IOS XR RUN state and installed components in the OPERATIONAL state.

  1. If the Cisco IOS XR is not operational, no output is shown in the result. In this case, verify the state of service domain router (SDR) on the node using the show sdr command in Cisco IOS XR mode.

    This example shows sample output from the show sdr command in Cisco IOS XR mode. 

    
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# show sdr
Sun Mar  5 02:37:09.174 CET
Type                  NodeName       NodeState      RedState       PartnerName
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NCS1001-K9            0/0            OPERATIONAL                   N/A

NCS1K-EDFA            0/3            OPERATIONAL                   N/A

RP                    0/RP0/CPU0     IOS XR RUN     ACTIVE         NONE

NCS1K-CNTLR2          0/RP0          OPERATIONAL                   N/A

NCS1K1-FAN            0/FT0          OPERATIONAL                   N/A

NCS1K1-FAN            0/FT1          OPERATIONAL                   N/A

NCS1K1-FAN            0/FT2          OPERATIONAL                   N/A

NCS1K1-FAN            0/FT3          OPERATIONAL                   N/A
2.

Enter the admin command to enter the System Admin EXEC mode.

Example:

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

Enter the show platform to information and status for each node in the system.

Example:

sysadmin-vm:0_RP0# show platform
Sun Mar  5  01:38:22.282 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 components of the 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.

  • 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 hardware and software states, and other details of the node.

Example:

sysadmin-vm:0_RP0# show platform detail
