configure sys-recovery-level slot
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.

response to the reported errors; however, the MSMs remain operational for debugging purposes
only. ExtremeWare XOS logs fault, error, system reset, system reboot, and system shutdown
messages to the syslog.
Depending on your configuration, the switch resets the offending MSM or I/O module if fault detection
occurs. An offending MSM is reset any number of times, and the MSM is not permanently taken offline.
On the BlackDiamond 10808 and BlackDiamond 12804 switches, an offending I/O module is reset a
maximum of three times. On the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch, an offending I/O module is reset a
maximum of five times. After the maximum number of resets, the I/O module is permanently taken
offline.
Messages Displayed.
If you configure the hardware recovery setting to either none (ignore) or
shutdown, the switch prompts you to confirm this action. The following is a sample shutdown message:
Are you sure you want to shutdown on errors? (y/n)
Enter
y
to confirm this action and configure the hardware recovery level. Enter
n
or press [Enter] to
cancel this action.
Taking Ports Offline.
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.5, you can configure the switch to shut down
one or more modules upon fault detection by specifying the
shutdown
option. If you configure one or
more slots to shut down and the switch detects a hardware fault, all ports in all of the configured shut
down slots are taken offline in response to the reported errors. (MSMs are available for debugging
purposes only.)
The affected module remains in the shutdown state across additional reboots or power cycles until you
explicitly clear the shutdown state. If a module enters the shutdown state, the module actually reboots
and the
show slot
command displays the state of the slot as Initialized; however, the ports are shut
down and taken offline. For more information about clearing the shutdown state, see the
clear sys-
recovery-level
command.
Module Recovery Actions—BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switch Only.
Table 16
describes the actions module
recovery takes based on your module recovery setting. For example, if you configure a module recovery
setting of
reset
for an I/O module, the module is reset a maximum of five times before it is taken
permanently offline.
From left to right, the columns display the following information:
●
Module Recovery Setting—This is the parameter used by the
configure sys-recovery-level
slot
command to distinguish the module recovery behavior.
●
Hardware—This indicates the hardware that you may have in your switch.
●
Action Taken—This describes the action the hardware takes based on the module recovery setting.

none
Single MSM
The MSM remains powered on in its current state.
This does not guarantee that the module remains operational;
however, the switch does not reboot the module.
Dual MSM
The MSM remains powered on in its current state.
This does not guarantee that the module remains operational;
however, the switch does not reboot the module.
