Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 - interconnect issues

Aaron.S — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:34:13 GMT

Hi,

My Cisco Switches in interconnect bay 7 & 8 do not display connected port mappings to ~half the blades I have slotted. (specifically it is not showing as connected for bay 1, 4, 6, 7, 8)

I have a c7000 enclosure that contains:
7 BL460c units (bays 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11)
2 BL480c units (bays 7, 8)
6 Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 (interconnect bays 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8)
2 Brocade 4/24 SAN Switch
(interconnect bays 5, 6)
2 OA

Why would this be and how can I best go about resolving such?

What type of mezz cards do you have installed? if you have quad port card installed on slot 2, the 4 ports will map to bays 5,6,7 and 8. The show all file from the OA will help (Telnet to OA and use the "show all" command)

Perfect!
Simple, but still the underlying case.

Thank you.
