Chassis inactive

[Marco Di Ianni]

Hì to all,
my problem is this:
on "my" rp8420 are present 4 partition for 4 cell
Today, from a partition, I have this output for PARSTATUS command:

....
[Cell]
CPU Memory Use
OK/ (GB) Core On
Hardware Actual Deconf/ OK/ Cell Next Par

cab0,cell2 active core ? ? ? ? yes 2
cab0,cell3 active core 8/0/8 16.0/ 0.0 cab8,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 3

cab0,bay0,chassis1 active yes cab0,cell1 1
cab8,bay0,chassis0 inactive ? ? 2
cab8,bay0,chassis1 active yes cab0,cell3 3
.....


the second chassis result inactive.
The OS on 2 cell is OK, but if I try to run parstatus on 2 partition, the command don't show any output and remain to hang.

Thank to all!

What does it say from VPMON prompt??
Also did you try resetting that partition and see if it comes up??

vparreset (Is that right command??)

run this again:

# parstatus -V -c2

then also run this:

from the GSP menu, enter CM to access the Command Menu, then enter: PS command
to list details.. maybe you can post.

GSP->CM->PS

The command
# parstatus -V -c2
remain to hang, without output.

from GSP->CM->PS, all display do not show any evident problem:

"HW status for rp8400 IO IOX cabinet : NO FAILURE DETECTED"


Maybe a firmware problem?

Marco,
Has this been resolved? We are seeing the same problem on an rp8400 after adding a cell board... the parstatus commands hang on the partition which the new cell has joined, but they work on the other partition.

Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Robin
