IML, IPL, or Reset the Director
This section describes procedures to IML, IPL, or reset the Director 2/140. An
IML or reset is performed at the CTP front panel using the IML or the RESET
button. An IPL is performed from the HAFM appliance (Director 2/140 Element
Manager). Do not IPL the director unless directed to do so by a procedural step or
the next level of support. An IML and IPL are functionally equivalent. The
operations do not cause power-on diagnostics to execute and are not disruptive to
Fibre Channel traffic. Both operations:
■
Reset the functional logic for the active CTP card only. An IPL does not reset
the backup CTP card, SBAR cards, or UPM cards. All director switching
operations continue unaffected.
Note:
An initial machine load (IML) performs essentially the same functions, but resets
both CTP cards. A director IML is initiated by pressing and holding the white IML
button (on the faceplate of either CTP card) for three seconds.
■
Load firmware from the CTP card FLASH memory without cycling director
power.
■
Reset the Ethernet local area network (LAN) interface on the active CTP card,
causing the connection to the HAFM appliance to drop momentarily until the
connection automatically recovers.
■
Automatically enable changes to an active zone configuration.
■
Keep all fabric logins, name server registrations, and operating parameters
intact.
■
Automatically set the director online. The blocked or unblocked state of each
port remains intact.
