Clearing the Shutdown State
If you configure one or more modules to shut down upon detecting a hardware fault, and
the switch enters the shutdown state, you must explicitly clear the shutdown state and reset
the affected modules for the switch to become functional.
-
Clear the shutdown state witht he command:
clear
sys-recovery-level
The switch
prompts you to confirm this action. The following is a sample confirmation
message:
Are you sure you want to clear sys-recovery-level?
(y/n)
-
Enter y to confirm this action and
clear the shutdown state. Enter n or press
[Enter] to cancel this action.
-
After using the clear sys-recovery-level
command, you must reset each affected module.
-
If you configured only a few I/O modules to shutdown,
reset each affected I/O module as follows:
-
Disable the slot using the disable slot
slot command.
-
Re-enable the slot using the enable slot
slot command.

Note
You must complete this procedure for each
module that enters the shutdown state.
-
If you configured all I/O modules or one or more MSM/MMs
to shutdown, use the reboot command to reboot the switch and reset all
affected I/O modules.
After you clear the shutdown state and reset the
affected module, each port is brought offline and then back online before the module and the
entire system is operational.
