Understanding Switch-Specific Commands
Adding a fabric card is normally a repair action or expansion of a less than fully configured switch.
The administrator informs the CMC of the slot where the fabric card is to be installed. The CMC verifies that the slot is empty and writes a log event.
The CMC acknowledges the new card has been inserted by observing the corresponding presence sensors.
Through administrator commands, the CMC enables standby power for the new fabric card and verifies that the IPMC on the card is fully operational.
The CMC checks that the available power supplies in the corresponding power domain can accommodate another fabric card powering on. The administrator commands the CMC to power on the card and the CMC waits for the IPMC to report the card as fully operational.
If installing the fabric card compliments the chassis cooling budget, the CMC powers on any previously disabled components and informs the Fabric Manager.
The CMC checks that all InfiniBand links connected to operational line cards have trained correctly, and that no excessive error counts exist for the fabric card ports and corresponding line card ports.
