Start a Module (Oracle ILOM CLI)

Modules installed in the virtualization switch should be operational while the switch is powered on and running. Modules can be in a different state than the overall switch power state, for example, a module can be stopped while the virtualization switch is operating.

If a module is currently stopped, you can start it. When a module is started, 12V and active 3.3V power is restarted on the module.

1. Display the installed modules.

   -> show /SYS/MODULES/
   
    /SYS/MODULES
       Targets:
           MODULE0
           MODULE1
           MODULE3
           MODULE5
           MODULE6
           MODULE10
   

   I/O modules in the virtualization switch are numbered 0 to 11 with Module 0 occupying the first (leftmost) physical slot.

2. Query each module's power state until you locate the module that is stopped.

   -> show /SYS/MODULES/MODULEX power_state
     

   where X is a number between 0 or 11 that corresponds to the module you want to start.

   For example, to start module 3, type:

   -> show /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 power_state
   
     /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3
       Properties:
           power_state = Off
     

3. When you identify the stopped module, start it.

   -> start /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3/
   Are you sure you want to start /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 (y/n)? y
   Starting /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3
    

4. Verify the module is started.

   -> show /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 power_state
   
     /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3
       Properties:
           power_state = On
     

5. Verify the module is not in a fault condition.

   -> show /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 fault_state
   
      /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3
       Properties:
           fault_state = OK
   
     

   If the module is in a fault state, see Clear Module Faults (Oracle ILOM CLI).
