Execute an IPL
Caution:
The Ethernet connection between the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric
Manager (HAFM) server and director is interrupted momentarily during an IPL.
Note:
An initial program load (IPL) is not intended for ordinary or casual use and
should only be performed if the active CTP card is suspected to be faulty. This
operation resets the active CTP card (an IML resets both CTP cards). Do not use this
option unless directed by your support representative or if you need to reset a failed
CTP card.
If it is necessary for you to execute an IPL on the director, use the following steps:
1.
Choose
IPL
from the
Configure
menu on the menu bar. The
IPL
Confirmation
dialog box displays, as shown in
Figure 59
.

Table 2
for an explanation of
this status bar display.
