Diagnostics VRTX Chassis

advised to remove the server and insert a supported server on the Chassis or upgrade the

server to a version of firmware supporting the VRTX chassis, and then insert it back to the

VRTX Chassis.

Problem: Server is unable to turn on with Chassis Intrusion on Chassis log.

 Resolution: This may happen when the VRTX Chassis cover is open and the latch is not

closed. It is advised to close the enclosure and latch it properly before a server turn-on

command is issued.

Troubleshooting PCIe Components

The PCIe assignments to Servers can be achieved through various interfaces such as Web interface,

RACADM, WS-MAN, and so on. In the CMC Web interface, PCIe Overview > Properties, and PCIe

Overview > Setup helps to view and configure the PCIe adapters. For example, the assignments and

viewing the assignments can be achieved in RACADM by running the following commands

To Assign PCIe Slots

racadm setpciecfg assign -c <FQDD> -i <server slot>

To Unassign PCIe Slots

racadm setpciecfg unassign -c <FQDD>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valid Options:

-c : Option to select a particular PCIe adapter or

Virtual Adapter

-i : Server slot number

FQDD : FQDD Key of selected PCIe slot or Virtual Adapter

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To view the assignments, run the following command.

Racadm getpciecfg –a

The sample output of the command is

racadm getpciecfg -a
