Brocade Virtual ADX troubleshooting
Question: I cannot see the cursor on the screen. How do I get cursor control back?
If you are in the vSphere console, press Ctrl-Alt to get back cursor control.
Question: I have set up my system and am getting a data loop. What can I do?
You must associate a different port group for each of the three data ports, eth1, eth2, and eth3. Edit the
Virtual Machine properties to ensure that you follow the notes listed in the installation section of this
guide.
You may also be able to correct this situation by using different VLANs for each port.
Question: My system has become unresponsive. Is there something I can do to restart?
You can use Ctrl-y l to get a list of all the processes or Ctrl+y+m to get to the Linux console to restart
the Virtual Machine, if needed. After entering Ctrl-y l, you can select mp to get back to the Brocade
Virtual ADX CLI session.
From the Linux console, you can use the ps -ef command to identify the unresponsive screen utility,
which spawned the Brocade Virtual ADX process. Among the processes listed in the output, you will
see an output similar to what you see below.
root 2151 1 0 01:07 ? 00:00:00 SCREEN -d -m /opt/ADX/bin/task_mgr 2
Use the kill -9 command with the PID to terminate the unresponsive process.
Question: The Brocade Virtual ADX failed to boot. What may have occurred?
The Brocade Virtual ADX will not boot due to lack of resources. The console may display appropriate
error messages that are also captured in the eventlog and bootup log files. One of the following
message may be printed when an error is encountered.
•
Error: Initialization failed. Minimum number of cores required is 2.
•
Error: Initialization failed. Minimum memory required is 2 GB.
Use the following commands for more information:
• The show version and show license commands should provide information about the availabe
license.
• The show bp-status command displays the number of BPs launched and their status.
• The show mem command displays the state of the system memory.
Determine the minimum requirements for your host machine and verify that the machine meets these
requirements.
Question: I am using KVM with OVS and not able to do L2 forwarding. How can I make it to work?
After the VM is deployed, an XML file is saved at /etc/libvirt/qemu/virtual_adx.xml. In this file, make sure
that the interface type and virtualport type are defined correctly for all of the interfaces. If the virtualport
type is not there, you need to add it as shown below.
