Switch boot issues
Symptom The enterprise-class platform model rebooted again after an initial bootup.
Probable cause and recommended action
This issue can occur during an enterprise-class platform boot up with two CPs. If any failure occurs
on active CP, before the standby CP is fully functional and has obtained HA sync, the Standby CP
may not be able to take on the active role to perform failover successfully.
In this case, both CPs will reboot to recover from the failure.
OK Power supply functioning correctly.
absent Power supply not present.
unknown Power supply unit installed.
predicting failure Power supply is present but predicting failure.
faulty Power supply present but faulty (no power cable, power switch turned off, fuse
blown, or other internal error).
