module ContrentSwitch 3 command takes more than a minute to respond

[astanislaus]

I have two CAT 6509 switches with a CSM module in slot 3 in SW1 and a CSM module in slot 8 in SW2.

From the router config when I type - module ContentSwitch 3 on MSFC in SW1 - it takes more than a minute to get the CSM config prompt.

Then every command I type - eg, vlan 46 client - takes about a minute to respond.

This happens only on CAT 6509 SW1. On the other CAT 6500 - SW2 - which has the CSM in slot 8 - when I say - at router config prompt - module ContentSwitch 8 - I get an immediate response with the csm config prompt and every command I type I get immediate response.

One CAT 6500 number Sw1, I did a reset 3 at the CatOS prompt and tried again. Same problem, Could it be a H/W problem on this CSM in this CAT6509. The CSM versions of the two CSMs in the two CAT6509 are 4.1(3) and the MSFCs in the two CAT6509 are 12.1(2)E.

It can't be version problem because the two CSMs and the two MSFCs in the two CAT 6509 have the same versions. Tomorrow I will replace the CSM in the problem CAT6509 and try again.

I have configured one CSM and I need to configure this other CSM whick takes more than a minute to respond to commands and so I gave up after I typed 3 or 4 commands.

Any suggestions please?

Could you please verify your version and capture a 'sho mod csm X tech util'

Thanks,

Gilles.
