ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
602
configure sys-health-check all level
configure sys-health-check all level [normal | strict]
Description
Configures how ExtremeWare XOS handles faults for the BlackDiamond 8800 series and the Summit
X450 family of switches.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting is normal.
Usage Guidelines
On the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch, use this command in conjunction with the
configure sys-
recovery-level slot <slot_number> [none | reset | shutdown]
command to implement your network's
fault handling strategy.
On the Summit X450 family of switches, use this command in conjunction with the
configure sys-
recovery-level switch [none | reset | shutdown]
command to implement your network’s fault
handling strategy.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 enhances the number of switch-fabric tests completed and monitored by the
polling module of the system health checker. Additionally with ExtremeWare XOS 11.5, you can now
configure how ExtremeWare XOS handles a detected fault based on the configuration of the
configure
sys-recovery-level slot <slot_number> [none | reset | shutdown]
or the
configure sys-recovery-
level switch [none | reset | shutdown]
command.
If you configure the
strict
parameter, the switch takes the action configured by the
configure sys-
recovery-level slot
or the
configure sys-recovery-level switch
command, which can include
logging only or restarting, rebooting, or shutting down the suspect device.
To maintain a smooth upgrade for devices running ExtremeWare XOS 11.4 and earlier, the switch-fabric
tests introduced in ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 are set to only log error messages (‘normal mode’) by default.
However, Extreme Networks recommends that you configure ‘strict mode’ so the system can attempt to
recover by utilizing the action configured in the
configure sys-recovery-level slot
or the
configure sys-recovery-level switch
command (which by default is reset).
normal
Upon a fault detection, the switch only sends a message to the syslog. This is
the default setting.
strict
Upon a fault detection, the switch takes the action configured by the
configure sys-recovery-level slot
or the
configure sys-
recovery-level switch
command.
