SAN Switch reboots constantly

[peternt]

Hi

We have a SAN Switch 2/16 brocade 3800 (HP product number 287055-B21) firmware 3.2.1.c, which reboots constantly

When this switch is starting, shows this messages:

login: admin
Password:  passed.

Running Port Register Test .... passed.

Running Central Memory Test ... passed.

Running CMI Test .............. passed.

Running Turbo RAM Test ........ passed.

FAILED.

then the switch reboots. I disconnected the cables power, namely this switch is power off.

This switch is connected in a fabric mode.

Is this a hardware error ? If I disconnect all FC cables connected to switch and then start it, is it possible fix the issue ?

Thanks in advance

Think its broken based on http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Storage-Area-Networks-SAN/Problem-with-HP-fc-16B/td-p/3772438

Contact HP to gave it replaced if under contract.

I would be surprised if HP would replce it. This switch is End-of-Support since last year.

Hi,

As Erwin wrote, this seems to be in EOSL so I don't see a good solution for it. The only thing that comes to my mind is that you try to boot from the secondary partition (in case this kind of switch have two...).

Good luck!
