Troubleshooting Switching and Services Modules
In addition, the module generates a system message indicating the exact reason why the image download
failed:
Error Message
IMAGE_DNLD-SLOT#-2-ADDON_IMG_DNLD_FAILED: Module image download
process failed. [chars].
Explanation
The add-on image download to the module failed. This module is not operational until
an add-on image has been successfully installed.
Recommended Action
Verify the location and version of your module image. Enter
install module
CLI command or similar Fabric Manager/Device Manager command
to download a new module
image.
If the image download fails, the supervisor power cycles the module. Choose
Logs > Switch Resident
> Syslog > Since Reboot
in Device Manager or use the
show logging
CLI command to view the failure
messages.
Runtime Diagnostics
After the module successfully registers with the supervisor, the module checks the hardware. If this fails,
the module reports the error to the supervisor and generates the following system message:
Error Message
MODULE-2-MOD_DIAG_FAIL: Module [dec] reported failure on ports
[dec]/[dec]-[dec]/[dec] ([chars]) due to [chars] in device [dec] (device error
[hex]).
Explanation
The module reported a failure in the runtime diagnostic. Module manager is going to
power cycle the module.
Recommended Action
Collect information about the module by entering the
show module internal
all module
CLI command.
In addition, this information is stored in the exception log (which is persistent across reboots). The
supervisor then power cycles the module. Choose
Logs > Switch Resident > Syslog > Since Reboot
in
Device Manager or use the
show logging
and
show module internal exception-log module
CLI
commands to retrieve failure information.
Runtime Configuration
After the runtime diagnostics complete successfully, the module informs the supervisor that it is ready
for configuration. Individual supervisor components configure the module. If any component reports a
problem during this stage, the supervisor reboots the module. Use the
show module internal
event-history module
CLI command to determine which component reported the problem.
Online and Operational
After all the supervisor components have configured the module, the module goes to the ok state. In this
state, the module is online and operational. The supervisor continues to monitor the module periodically
to verify correct operation. The following events are monitored:
•
Heartbeat message—Sent between the supervisor and the module to verify that the module is
running.
