The E5600SG controller seven-segment LEDs display status and error codes during the time when the appliance powers up and while the hardware is initializing. You can use these codes to determine status and troubleshoot errors.
When reviewing status and error codes on the E5600SG controller, you should look at the following types of codes:
The codes that appear differ depending on the installation version. You can determine the installation version by referring to Determining the StorageGRID Webscale appliance installer version.
StorageGRID Webscale controls only the following LED lights on the E5600SG controller and only after the pre-grid environment has started:
The following LED decimal points are not used by the StorageGRID Webscale appliance:
This is turned on during reset and initial hardware configuration. Otherwise, it is turned off.
To diagnose other issues, you might want to look at these resources:
This includes looking for hardware issues such as power, temperature, and disk drives. The appliance relies on the E-Series operating system to monitor all platform environmental statuses.
For details, see the E-Series E5600 documentation.
During boot-up or after a hard reset of the hardware, the Service Action Allowed and the Service Action Required LEDs come on while the hardware is initializing. The seven-segment LED displays a sequence of codes that are the same for E-Series hardware and not specific to the E5600SG controller.
During boot-up, the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) controls the functions and initialization on the hardware.
Code | Indication |
---|---|
19 | FPGA initialization. |
68 | FPGA initialization. |
... | FPGA initialization. This is a quick succession of codes. |
AA | Platform BIOS booting. |
FF | Bios boot-up complete. This is an intermediate state before E5600SG controller initializes and manages LEDs to indicate status. |
After the AA and FF codes appear, either the normal boot-up codes appear or error codes appear. Additionally, the Service Action Allowed and the Service Action Required LEDs are turned off.
These codes represent the normal boot-up events that occur in the appliance, in chronological order.
Code, if version is 1.4 or earlier | Code, if version is 1.5 or later | Indication |
---|---|---|
MB | HI | The master boot script has started. |
PP | PP | The platform FPGA firmware is checking for updates. |
HP | HP | The HIC host interface card is checking for updates. |
RB | RB | After firmware updates, the system is rebooting, if necessary. |
FP | FP | The firmware update checks have been completed. Starting the process (utmagent) to communicate with and manage the E2700 controller. This process facilitates appliance provisioning. |
SE | HE | The system is synchronizing with the E-Series operating system. |
SI | HC | The StorageGRID Webscale installation is being checked. |
IM | HO | Installation management and active interfacing are occurring. |
SG | HA | The Linux operating system and StorageGRID Webscale are running. |
These codes represent error conditions that might be shown on the E5600SG controller as the appliance boots up. Additional two-digit hexadecimal codes are displayed if specific low-level hardware errors occur. If any of these codes persist for more than a second or two or if you are unable to resolve the error by following one of the prescribed troubleshooting procedures, contact technical support from the NetApp Support Site at mysupport.netapp.com.
