Fabric OS - switch won't initialize?
We have a EMC DS-16B switch that boots, however never gets
to be in an online and ready state. At the prompt most commands reveal "Switch not ready", and subsequent logins produce the message "WARNING: switch still initializing - please wait". The problem is it *never* finishes initializing. Forcing it online using the front panel shows an online status in switchshow, however this makes no difference as the switch remains "not ready". The boot sequence looks like this: -TELNET-I-ESCAPE, Escape character is ^] Fabric OS (tm) Release v2.4_test login: passed. Running Port Register Test .... passed. Running Central Memory Test ... passed. Running CMI Test .............. passed. Running CAM Test .............. passed. Running Port Loopback Test .... passed. Fail to get secure mode from flash.

You didn't mention how it got to this state. Is this a standalone switch or
is part of a multiswitch fabric. Did it just fail one day or did it stop working after making a change to the switch/fabric? The firmware appears to be out of date also. I believe the current switch major firmware rev is 2.6, your is at 2.4. Give us some more details. "Patrick Young" wrote in message ...
