MDS 9124e "externallydisabled" Status

[christoph.reeber]

Hi,

I have two MDS 9124e inside a HP c-class Bladecenter. My problem is, that all internal bay ports have a admin status up, oper status down and a Statusfailurecause "externallydisabled".

The licenses are available and the ports are aquired.

Nevertheless, I found no way to bring them up.

Does anyone can help me?

Kind regards

Christoph

The MDS is complaining that they are externally disabled meaning that the bladecentre chassis has them disabled. There should be an option in the HP management screen (OA) to enable the front switch ports.

Hi,

again hanks for the help.

My actual solution is to remove the existing Br*cade blade switches and place the MDS blades instead.

Now, the ports are available. Now, I can figure out with HP, why this occurs.

Kind regards

Christoph
