Managing Failed Power and Switch Operation Requests

You can look for failed power or switch operation requests by checking the tspr.debug log for ExpectTimedOut messages. Power operation requests include powerUp, ispowerUp, and powerDown operations. Switch operation requests include addPort, removeVlan, and removeAll operations.

A failure can occur if the N1 Provisioning Server is unable to access a device or the N1 Provisioning Server receives unexpected output from a device. If a failure occurs, check the following items:

1. Verify that the IP address for the device is set correctly and that communication from the N1 Provisioning Server to the device exists.

2. Run the device -lv device-ID command from the N1 Provisioning Server to verify that all login names and passwords for this device are correct.

3. Ensure that the firmware is the supported version and that any changes made to the default settings are acceptable.

If you need to debug further to resolve the issue, enable the expect log in the following properties:

• com.terraspring.drivers.util.expect.Expect.print=true

• com.terraspring.drivers.util.expect.Expect.output=log-name-path

Run the tail -f log-name-path command and reissue your request to view the operation.
