2 Switch boot issues • reboot • haFailover • fastBoot • firmwareDownload The RRD feature is activated and halts rebooting when an unexpected reboot reason is shown continuously in the reboot history within a certain period of time. The period of time is switch dependent. The following are considered unexpected reboots: • Reset A reset reboot may be caused by one of the following: - Power-cycle of the switch or CP. - Linux reboot command. - Hardware watchdog timeout. - Heartbeat loss related reboot. • Software Fault:Kernel Panic - If the system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover, generally it will output an error message to the console, dump a stack trace for debugging and then performs an automatic reboot. - After a kernel panic, the system may not have enough time to write the reboot reason causing the reboot reason to be empty. This is treated as an Unknown/reset case. • Software fault - Software Fault:Software Watchdog - Software Fault:ASSERT. • Software recovery failure This is an HA bootup related issue and happens when switch is unable to recover to a stable state. HASM log contains more detail and specific information on this type of failure, such as one of the following: - Failover recovery failed: This occurs when failover recovery failed and has to reboot the CP. - Failover when standby CP unready: Occurs when the active CP has to failover, but the standby CP is not ready to takeover mastership. - Failover when LS trans incomplete: Takes place when a logical switch transaction is incomplete. • Software bootup failure This is an HA bootup related issue and happens when a switch is unable to load the firmware to a usable state. HASM log contains more detail and specific information on this type of failure, such as one of the following: - System bring up timed out: The CP failed to come up within the time allotted. - LS configuration timed out and failed: Logical switch configuration failed and timed out. After RRD is activated, admin level permission is required to login enter the supportShow or supportSave command to collect a limited amount of data to resolve the issue. ATTENTION The limited supportSave used with the RRD feature does not support USB. 14 Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide 53-1001769-01
