Questions:

- do you run Ethernet End host mode

- do you have running uplinks to a Northbound switch

- is this the only SP having problem, other SP running ok ?

- do you have a static pin group ?

[Manuel Velasco · Accepted solution]

Make sure the blade is up and you have a OS installed.  If you don't an OS installed or the blade is powered off you might see these errors.

Hello

Thats correct. I logged via KVM to the vaulty blade. OS was in BIOS mode.

Rebooted OS, and everything back to normal.

Thank you for your assist.
