Operational State |
Displays the general condition of the interface card. The general condition may appear as any of the following: •unknown •normal •bootFailed •tooHot •booting •checkingBootImage •wrongBootImage •rebooting •standby •recoveryImage A condition of unknown indicates an unsupported interface card. To address this condition, replace the card with a supported card. The operational state of a card must appear as normal for the current status of the card to appear as up. A wrongBootImage condition indicates that the active system image on the interface card does not match the active system image on the controller. All cards must run the same active system image as the controller card. A bootFailed condition indicates that the active system image on the card was incompletely or incorrectly loaded. If the other interface cards come up successfully, reset the individual card. Otherwise, reboot your entire device. The tooHot condition indicates that the card is overheating. Expand Chassis and select the Fans branch to see if your fans have failed. The booting condition indicates that the card has not finished loading the necessary image data for the internal configuration. |
