CR16-8 blades can be inserted only into slots 5 and 8 on the Brocade DCX 8510-8. CR16-4 blades can be inserted only into slots 3 and 6 on the Brocade DCX 8510-4. Typically, issues detected during firmware download to AP blades do not require recovery actions on your part. If you experience frequent failovers between CPs that have different versions of firmware, then you may notice multiple blade firmware downloads and a longer startup time. ∙ CR32-8 and CR32-4 core blades provide ICL functionality between two Brocade X6 Directors. CR32-8 blades can be inserted only into slots 7 and 8 on the Brocade X6-8. CR32-4 blades can be inserted only into slots 5 and 6 on the Brocade X6-4. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action Relocation of internal image times out on control processor blade. This can be caused by issues in the co-CPU. If this happens, the firmware download process synchronizes the partitions in the main-CPU and coCPU by starting a firmware commit operation. Wait at least 15 minutes for the commit operation to complete, issue the firmwareShow command to verify the partitions are synchronized, and reissue the firmwareDownload command. If the problem persists, you must contact the switch service provider. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action The blade is faulty (issue slotShow to confirm). If the port or application blade is faulty, enter the slotPowerOff and slotPowerOn commands for the port or application blade. If the port or application blade still appears to be faulty, remove it and re-insert it into the chassis. Brocade Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide 53-1004126-01 55
