Verifying proper operation
• CARD_STATE_POWER_OFF – The module does not have power.
• CARD_STATE_UP – The module is operating normally.
• CARD_STATE_FAILED – The management module was unable to bring up an interface module. If you see this status, make
certain that the interface module is installed properly. For more information, refer to “Installing NetIron XMR 4000 modules” on
page 136, “Installing NetIron XMR 8000 modules” on page 146, “Installing NetIron XMR 16000 modules” on page 155, or
“Installing NetIron XMR 32000 modules” on page 166.
• CARD_DOWN_REASON_explanation – The module is in a nonfunctional state. This status appears with an explanation for why
the module is down. For example, “CARD_DOWN_REASON_BOOT_FAILED.” If the explanation does not help you resolve the
problem, contact technical support and provide the explanation included with this status.
Forced card deletion
This feature allows you to remove a module configuration from the running configuration in interactive mode, while a different module is
inserted. Users should copy the configuration of the existing module (if applicable) before performing the following steps.
1. Remove the existing module, and insert the new module.
2. Copy the running configuration of the existing modules interfaces to a text editor if desired for use in step 8. This configuration
will be removed from the running configuration automatically after step 5.
3. New module should come up in interactive state, and can be code synced at this time if needed.
4. Enter configuration mode.
5. Execute the following command:
Brocade(config)#no module <slot> <module-type>
Example:
Brocade(config)#no module 2 ni-mlx-8-port-10g-d
NOTE
This is best pulled directly from the running configuration.
6. Answer
yes to the prompt by pressing y.
7. Wait for the new module to come up.
8. Apply the appropriate configuration to the interfaces of the new module.
9. Execute write memory to save the new configuration.
The following example demonstrates the forced card deletion feature:
