Verifies switch chip boot status. Issued on the CMC.
checkswitches
This switch-specific command verifies switch chip boot status and the presence of fatal errors. Output is a simplified OK. Should an switch chip fail, the output indicates so.
Note - Wait at least 1 minute after activating a line card or fabric card before using the checkswitches command to verify the status of that component. If the checkswitches command is issued within 1 minute of activating a line card or fabric card, the command might report the respective switches as failed.
The following example shows how to check switch chip boot status with the checkswitches command.
# checkswitches Checking booted switches in M9... FC 0 Active, checking switches ....OK FC 1 Active, checking switches ....OK FC 2 Active, checking switches ....OK FC 3 Active, checking switches .... I4 no 1 on FC 3 did not boot correct. Boot syndrome = 0x00000000 I4 no 2 on FC 3 did not boot correct. Boot syndrome = 0x00000000 FC 4 Active, checking switches ....OK . . . #
In the example, switch chips 1 and 2 on fabric card 3 did not boot correctly.
Note - The output in the example is just a portion of the full output.
