Release Notes for ExtremeWare v6.2.1
Removal/Insertion of an MSM
The action of inserting or removing a BlackDiamond MSM will report the following message under
certain circumstances. This message can be safely ignored (8547).
04/27/2000 12:39.37 <WARN:KERN> ngRxFirst failed WTX1 - (1, eeeeeeee, ffff)
Extended Diagnostics
Running the CLI run diags extended command can cause the following messages to appear in the
log. These messages are expected and indicate that the system is currently busy running the user
initiated diagnostics (10800). This does not occur with the CLI
run diagnostics normal command.
<CRIT:SYST> task tdiagTask cpu utilization is 98% PC: 806266e8
<INFO:SYST> task tdiagTask cpu utilization is 98% PC: 806266e8
MSM Mismatch on Cold Start
If the MSM-A is running v6.1.9 or v6.2.1, and the MSM-B is running v6.1.8 or earlier, or v6.2.0, on a cold
start with both MSM present, the MSM-B will complete its unitization faster than the MSM-A, and will
come up as the master. This is due to the fastpost diagnostic that is run with v6.1.9 or v 6.2.1, but that is
not run in v6.2.0 or v6.1.8 or earlier. (1-841CL)
Configuring Diagnostics Mode Off
If you configure diagnostics mode OFF, and then execute the unconfigure switch all command,
when the switch returns to active state the diagnostics mode is still set to OFF. The default diagnostics
mode should be
fastpost. To verify which diagnostics mode is set for the switch, use the show switch
command. (1-97NL1)
BlackDiamond 6816 MIB value for Input Power Voltage
On the BlackDiamond 6816, the extremeInputPowerVoltage attribute in extremeSytemCommonInfo is
shown as “0” and the extremePowerSupplyInputVoltage in the extremePowerSupplyTable is shown as
“unknown.” These values cannot be obtained from the switch. (1-841J1)
Normal or Extended Diagnostics on BlackDiamond 6816
The Black Diamond 6816 only supports the packet-memory option of the run diagnostics command.
Users attempting to run either normal or extended diagnostics will receive the following message.
Warning: run-time diagnostics is not supported currently on the 6816.
Sync of Configurations
When you hot add a slave MSM, the slave will automatically do a sync to bring the master’s images
and configurations over to the slave. However, if one of the configurations on the master MSM is empty,
the sync process will not overwrite the corresponding configuration on the slave. If the configuration on
the slave MSM is an older configuration, this can cause problems if the switch is rebooted using the
outdated configuration. (1-AJP7P)
