ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
617
configure sys-recovery-level switch
configure sys-recovery-level switch [none | reset | shutdown]
Description
Configures a recovery option for instances where a hardware exception occurs on the Summit X450
family switch.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting is
reset.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command for system auto-recovery upon detection of hardware problems. You can configure
the Summit X450 family of switches to take no action, automatically reboot, or shutdown if the switch
detects a hardware fault. This enhanced level of recovery detects faults in the CPU.
You must specify one of the following parameters for the switch to respond to hardware failures:
●
none
—Configures the switch to maintain its current state regardless of the detected fault. The switch
does not reboot or shutdown.
●
reset
—Configures the switch to reboot upon detecting a hardware fault.
●
shutdown
—Configures the switch to shutdown upon fault detection. All ports are taken offline in
response to the reported errors; however, the management port remains operational for debugging
purposes only.
Messages Displayed.
If you configure the hardware recovery setting to either none (ignore) or
shutdown, the switch prompts you to confirm this action by displaying a message similar to the
following:
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.
none
Configures the switch to maintain its current state regardless of the detected
fault. The switch does not reboot or shutdown. ExtremeWare XOS logs fault
and error messages to the syslog.
reset
Configures the switch to reboot upon detecting a hardware fault. ExtremeWare
XOS logs fault, error, system reset, and system reboot messages to the syslog.
shutdown
Configures the switch to shut down upon detecting a hardware fault. All ports
are taken offline in response to the reported errors; however, the management
port remains operational for debugging purposes only. If the switch shuts
down, it remains in this state across additional reboots or power cycles until
you explicitly clear the shutdown state.
