Initialized; however, the ports are shut down and taken offline. For more information about
clearing the shutdown state, see
Clearing the Shutdown State on page 211.
Messages Displayed at the Startup Screen
If you configure the shutdown feature and a hardware error is detected, the system displays
an explanatory message on the startup screen. The following truncated sample output shows
the startup screen if any of the slots in a modular switch are shut down as a result of the
system recovery configuration:
The I/O modules in the following slots are shut down: 1,3
Use the "clear sys-recovery-level" command to restore I/O modules
When an exclamation point (!) appears in front of the command line prompt, it indicates that
one or more slots shut down as a result of your system recovery configuration and a switch
error.
Module Recovery Actions
Table 26 describes the actions module recovery takes based on your module recovery
setting. For example, if you configure a module recovery setting of reset for an I/O module,
the module is reset a maximum of five times before it is taken permanently offline.
From left to right, the columns display the following information:
• Module Recovery Setting—This is the parameter used by the configure
sys-recovery-level slot
command to distinguish the module recovery behavior.
• Hardware—This indicates the hardware that you may have installed in your switch.
• Action Taken—This describes the action the hardware takes based on the module
recovery setting.
