Entering Chassis Management Commands
If a slot you specify contains a module that is busy for some reason, or if you specify slot 1,
which contains the AC Input module, this message appears:
Xyplex - 1921 - Specified slot(s) not responding
If a module is decompressing a software load image, for example, it will not respond to a
chassis management command.
If the slot you specify is empty, this message appears:
Xyplex - 1919 - Slot x is empty
The variable x indicates a slot number. This message can also appear if either a
MAXserver family card or a Network 9000 Type 1 product exists in the slot.
The SHOW/MONITOR [SERVER] CHASSIS SUMMARY command displays the status of
each chassis slot. Chapter 5 describes this display in detail.
Specifying Power Supply Numbers
Valid power supply numbers are 1 and 2 for a six-slot chassis and 1-5 for a fifteen-slot
chassis. You can specify a sequence of numbers separated by commas or a range of
numbers with a hyphen. The list can include a sequence and a range, but no spaces. For
example, the list 1, 3-5 includes power supplies 1, 3, 4, and 5.
You must specify a power supply number if one is required in the command syntax. No
default exists for a power supply number. If you specify the number of an unmanaged
power supply, the following message appears:
Xyplex - 1920 - Specified power supply is unmanaged or does not exist.
Unmanaged power supplies do not support chassis management commands.
Editing the Command Line
You can change, correct, or edit the command line before you press the Return key, or
recall previous command lines with certain control characters. To use control characters,
press the Control key and the second character simultaneously. Table 2-2 lists the default
editing control characters.
To ensure that you can use these control characters, check that the LINE EDITOR
characteristic is set to ENABLED (this characteristic is enabled by default). Use the
DEFINE/SET PORT LINE EDITOR ENABLED command, described in the Commands
Reference manual for each Network 9000 product to do this.
