Slot Events

Slot Events

This chapter explains how to diagnose and handle slot events generated by the Cisco 6100 Series system. The following information is presented for each of the events:

If none of the actions presented for the event are successful, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for additional support.


Note Refer to "Cisco 6100 Series System Event Troubleshooting" for detailed information on viewing events in the ViewRunner management software. Refer to "Event Guidelines and Definitions" for detailed information on event severity guidelines and alarm event status changes.

Table 18-1 lists slot events and their IDs, definition, severity, and description. A detailed explanation of these events and corrective actions required (if any) is located in subsections in this chapter.


Table 18-1: Slot Events
ID Definition Severity Description

1

SLOT_MISMATCH_EVENT

Minor

A module was inserted in the slot that did not match the type that was pre-provisioned for that slot

2

SLOT_INVALID_EVENT

Minor

A module that was not valid for the slot was inserted in the slot

3

SLOT_NO_IMAGE_EVENT

Minor

No image exists for the type module present in the slot

4

SLOT_IMAGE_NOT_READY

Minor

Image for download is not ready

5

SLOT_DOWNLOAD_START

Info

Download for module in slot is underway

6

SLOT_DOWNLOAD_COMP

Info

Download for module in slot is complete

7

SLOT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL

Info

Image download failed for module in slot

8

SLOT_CURR_IMG_FAIL

Minor

Image could not be obtained for module in slot


Note Events with an id less than 128 are specific to the module in alarm. Events with an id value greater than or equal to 128 are system-wide events.

18.1 Slot Mismatch Error

Event Summary

ID Event Name Severity

1

SLOT_MISMATCH_EVENT

Minor

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

A module was inserted in the slot that did not match the type that was pre-provisioned for the slot

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during module power up and self-test, and they do not affect service (because subscriber service is typically not active yet). The module fails self-test as a result of this event, and immediately retries the self-test, but no self-test will end in success. A failure message is generated with each failure. Without a successful self-test, the module cannot be put into service, so the node does not complete its installation cycle.

Software update events fall into this description, because it is assumed that the updates are always monitored by an operator. Consequently, the events need not be coded as critical. In any case, the goal is to monitor the node status until the node becomes fully operational.

Action

Preprovisioning may have been performed on this slot during system configuration (after the system controller [SC] module was installed). Preprovisioning implies that a slot was configured for a given module type, and the SC module has detected that a module of a different type is physically inserted in this slot.

Check ViewRunner information on the slot. Either replace the module of the incorrect type with a module of the preprovisioned type, or delete the module configuration for the slot.

18.2 Slot Invalid Error

Event Summary

ID Event Name Severity

2

SLOT_INVALID_EVENT

Minor

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

A module that was not valid for the slot was inserted in the slot

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during module power up and self-test, and they do not affect service (because subscriber service is typically not active yet). The module fails self-test as a result of this event, and immediately retries the self-test, but no self-test will end in success. A failure message is generated with each failure. Without a successful self-test, the module cannot be put into service, so the node does not complete its installation cycle.

Software update events fall into this description, because it is assumed that the updates are always monitored by an operator. Consequently, the events need not be coded as critical. In any case, the goal is to monitor the node status until the node becomes fully operational.

Action

Step 1 The configuration style being used in this node (DOH or Direct Connect) does not require that a module of this type be inserted in this slot. Refer to the Cisco 6100 Series User Guide for more information on configuration styles.

Step 2 Remove the inappropriate module and use the ViewRunner software to delete the configuration.

18.3 No Image for Type of Module Present

SLOT_NO_IMAGE_EVENT

Minor

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

No image exists for the type module present in the slot

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during module power up and self-test, and they do not affect service (because subscriber service is typically not active yet). The module fails self-test as a result of this event, and immediately retries the self-test, but no self-test will end in success. A failure message is generated with each failure. Without a successful self-test, the module cannot be put into service, so the node does not complete its installation cycle.

Software update events fall into this description, because it is assumed that the updates are always monitored by an operator. Consequently, the events need not be coded as critical. In any case, the goal is to monitor the node status until the node becomes fully operational.

Action

Preprovisioning may have been performed on this slot during system configuration (after the system controller [SC] module was installed). Preprovisioning implies that a slot was configured for a given module type, and the SC module has detected that a module of a different type is physically inserted in this slot.

Check ViewRunner information on the slot. Either replace the module of the incorrect type with a module of the preprovisioned type, or delete the module configuration for the slot.

If the SC module NVRAM is cleared from the command line interface, all of the modules, except for the SC module, will report this event. Proceed with the software upgrade using the same Cisco 6100 Series software revision to clear the message.

SLOT_IMAGE_NOT_READY

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during module power up and self-test, and they do not affect service (because subscriber service is typically not active yet). The module fails self-test as a result of this event, and immediately retries the self-test, but no self-test will end in success. A failure message is generated with each failure.

Impact

Events of this type are not run-time events. They occur only during module power up and self-test, and they do not affect service (because subscriber service is typically not active yet).

Software update events fall into this description, because it is assumed that the updates are always monitored by an operator. Consequently, the events need not be coded as critical. In any case, the goal is to monitor the node status until the node becomes fully operational.

Preprovisioning implies that a slot was configured for a given module type, and the SC module has detected that a module of a different type is physically inserted in this slot.

Check ViewRunner information on the slot. Either replace the module of the incorrect type with a module of the preprovisioned type, or delete the module configuration for the slot.

You may be running an older Cisco 6100 Series code release that does not support the new module. If you are using DMT-2 ATU-C or STU-C modules with a Cisco 6100 Release 2.2.x code and earlier, upgrade the Cisco 6100 Series system code to the current release.
