Cant manage GBE2C Switch

Gerald Werner — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:20:29 GMT

We have a C3000 Bladecenter with 2 GBE2C Switches. Now, we cannot manage the switches via OA anymore. The first switch with ip 192.168.10.113 sporadic lost ping connection. Management Web access failed. The second one won´t show an ip-address at all.
How can I get the switches back again. I don´t want to power-off or reset the switches because all the blades are running fine and there´s only a service window on weekends.
regards

If they are being given their IP by the OA and the OA crashes this is what you might see.
Reseat the OA. The only thing you will lose is iLO connectivity.
The switches should get their IP back in a few mins. Check the OA is giving the interconnects the correct IP address.

Today, I have restarted the OA. Again, one switch has no IP and I cannot get access to the other one.
What can I do in fact to get the switch managed again?

Gerald,

I would recommend connecting to the GBE2c switches via their serial port and looking at the config.

You can do a '/c/dump' to see the entire config or can do an '/i/ip' to look at the IP Address configuration.

If you reply back here with the /i/ip maybe we can help figure out what is wrong...
