We recently removed a supervisor from a Nexus 7010 with the command:
out-of-service module 6
2011 Apr 9 16:10:25 TC-N7KCR02 %PLATFORM-2-MOD_PWRDN: Module 6 powered down
MY-N7K01# show module
Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status
--- ----- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------
6 0 Supervisor module-1X N7K-SUP1 powered-dn
The module was replaced and then we used the:
no poweroff module 6
This brought the module back online.
When we attempted to do the same with module 3 (N7K-M132XP-12)
out-of-service module 3
We got the following message:
"This linecard module cannot be put out of service"
We then used the command:
poweroff module 3
MY-N7K01# sh module
Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status
--- ----- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------
3 32 10 Gbps Ethernet Module N7K-M132XP-12 powered-dn
Mod Power-Status Reason
--- ------------ ---------------------------
3 powered-dn Configured Power down
Could someone advise when is is appropriate to use the "out-of-service" command and when to use the "power off" command?
What is the difference between these commands?
thanks,
Al

Greetings Al,
The out-of-service command is only applicable to Supervisor modules. Fabric and Interface modules can be powered off using 'poweroff' in config mode. In future NX-OS releases the message will be changed to indicate that out-of-service is only applicable to Supervisor modules.
Hope this helps,
/Phil

Phil,
Thanks I thought there would be a simple explanation. I'll wait for the next release to test.
