Troubleshooting Fan Issues Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Hardware Send documentation comments to [email protected] Troubleshooting a Fan Failure Using the CLI To troubleshoot a fan module problem using the CLI, follow these steps: Step 1 Use the show environment fan command and verify the status of each fan type. (See Example 4-2.) Step 2 Example 4-2 show environment fan Output switch# show environment fan Fan Model Hw Status Chassis DS-9SLOT-FAN 1.2 ok PS-1 -- -- ok PS-2 -- -- absent If the fan status is failure, one or more fans are not operational. Replace the failed fan module before your switch overheats. You should see the following system message in the log: Step 3 Error Message PLATFORM-1-CASA_FAN_FAIL: Fan module [dec] Failed. Explanation Fan module failed and needs to be replaced. This can lead to overheating and temperature alarms. Recommended Action Enter the show platform internal info command to collect more information. If the fan status is absent, the fan module has been removed. As soon as the fan module is removed, Cisco SAN-OS starts a five-minute countdown. Caution If the fan module is not reinserted within five minutes, the entire switch is shut down. Software reads a byte on the SEEPROM to determine if the fan module is present. If the fan module is partially inserted or if software is unable to access the SEEPROM on the fan module for any other reason, then Cisco SAN-OS cannot distinguish this case from a real fan module removal. The switch will be shut down in five minutes. The following priority 0 syslog messages are printed every five seconds: Step 4 Error Message PLATFORM-0-FAIL_REMOVED: Fan module removed. Fan module has been absent for [dec] seconds. Explanation Fan module was removed. This could lead to temperature alarms. Recommended Action Replace the fan module immediately. Remove and reinstall or replace the fan module. If the Fan LED is still red, the system detects a fan module failure. Contact your customer service representative for instructions.

Troubleshooting Fan Issues
Troubleshooting a Fan Failure Using the CLI
To troubleshoot a fan module problem using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the
show environment fan
command and verify the status of each fan type. (See
Example 4-2
.)
Example 4-2
show environment fan Output
switch# show environment fan

Status

PS-2

absent
Step 2
If the fan status is failure, one or more fans are not operational. Replace the failed fan module before
your switch overheats. You should see the following system message in the log:
Error Message
PLATFORM-1-CASA_FAN_FAIL: Fan module [dec] Failed.
Explanation
Fan module failed and needs to be replaced. This can lead to overheating and
temperature alarms.
Recommended Action
Enter the
show platform internal info
command to collect more information.
Step 3
If the fan status is absent, the fan module has been removed. As soon as the fan module is removed, Cisco
SAN-OS starts a five-minute countdown.
Caution
If the fan module is not reinserted within five minutes, the entire switch is shut down.
Software reads a byte on the SEEPROM to determine if the fan module is present. If the fan module is
partially inserted or if software is unable to access the SEEPROM on the fan module for any other reason,
then Cisco SAN-OS cannot distinguish this case from a real fan module removal. The switch will be shut
down in five minutes. The following priority 0 syslog messages are printed every five seconds:
Error Message
PLATFORM-0-FAIL_REMOVED: Fan module removed. Fan module has been
absent for [dec] seconds.
Explanation
Fan module was removed. This could lead to temperature alarms.
Recommended Action
Replace the fan module immediately.
Step 4
Remove and reinstall or replace the fan module. If the Fan LED is still red, the system detects a fan
module failure. Contact your customer service representative for instructions.
