Management module diagnostics

The management modules control Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade MLX series hardware

components, run networking protocols, and provide the Real Time Operating System (RTOS).

Each chassis requires one management module, and can accept a second module for redundancy

that works in conjunction with the active management module. If the active management module

becomes unavailable, the redundant management module automatically takes over the system

operation, minimizing system downtime.

Running management module diagnostics

You can run diagnostics on the management modules to check if the devices needed for proper

operation are accessible and in working order. The diagnostics for the Line Processor (LP) modules

begin after the completion of diagnostics for the management processor (MP) modules, if the LP

modules are present in the chassis.

MP module is considered to have passed the diagnostics if the result of all the checks is "Passed".

If an MP or an LP does not pass the diag burn-in command, contact Brocade Technical Support for

further assistance.

NOTE

Remove the standby management module from the chassis before running the diagnostics. If the

standby management module is present, running the diagnostics on the interface module fails.

To run diagnostics on management modules, perform the following steps.

1. Reload the system and immediately press the B key repeatedly until the system boots into

monitor mode.

2. Type boot os flash primary to enter the OS.

The prompt will change from MP Monitor> to MP OS>.

3. From the MP OS> prompt, enter diag burn-in, as shown in the following example.
