Execute an IPL
Caution: The Ethernet connection between the HAFM appliance and director
is interrupted momentarily during an IPL.
Note: An initial program load (IPL) is not intended for ordinary or casual use and
should only be performed if the active CTP card is suspected to be faulty. This operation
resets the active CTP card (an IML resets both CTP cards). Do not use this option unless
directed by your support representative or if you need to reset a failed CTP card.
If it is necessary for you to execute an IPL on the director, use the following steps:
1. Choose IPL from the Configure menu on the menu bar. The IPL
Confirmation dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 63 .
Figure 63: IPL Confirmation dialog box
2. Click Yes.
Choosing IPL from the Maintenance menu causes Ethernet connection between
the director and HAFM appliance to drop momentarily. The following occurs in
the Element Manager window:
■ As the network connection drops, the Director Status table on the Hardware
View turns yellow.
■ The Status field in the table displays No Link , and the State field displays
the reason for no link.
■ A gray square displays in the status bar. See Table 2 for an explanation of this
status bar display.
■ The FRUs in the illustration in the Hardware View do not display. They
display again as the connection is reestablished.
For details on functions performed by an IPL, refer to the HP StorageWorks
Director 2/64 Service Manual for the Director 2/64 and the HP StorageWorks
Director 2/140 Service Manual for the Director 2/140.
