The G450 and G430 gateway monitor the presence and sanity of the S8300 using a heartbeat on an internal Ethernet connection through the gateway backplane.
When you use the show mg list CLI command, one of the following messages or values are displayed when you check the status of the S8300 in slot v1 :
Not Installed
G450-001(super)# show mg list
SLOT TYPE CODE SUFFIX HW VINTAGE FW VINTAGE
---- -------- ---------- ------ ---------- -----------
v1 -- Not Installed --
v2
S8300 displays Not Installed, when the gateway does not detect a board. Possible causes are empty slot, S8300 not fully inserted, or faulty connectors.
Initializing/Faulted
G450-001(super)# show mg list
SLOT TYPE CODE SUFFIX HW VINTAGE FW VINTAGE
---- -------- ---------- ------ ---------- -----------
v1 -- Initializing --
v2
S8300 displays Initializing/Faulted, when the gateway detects a board, but it does not respond to ping. Possible causes are faulted board, vSwitch not setup correctly, software not loaded or not running.
Board SUFFIX is X and HW VINTAGE is 0
G450-001(super)# show mg list
SLOT TYPE CODE SUFFIX HW VINTAGE FW VINTAGE
---- -------- ---------- ------ ---------- -----------
v1 S8300 ICC X 0 0
v2
S8300 displays values for SUFFIX and HW VINTAGE as X and 0 respectively. This implies that the gateway can ping the S8300 on the internal VLAN, but the heartbeat is not present and the gateway did not receive the board suffix and Vintages. Possible causes are the S8300 is not fully initialized or the Avaya heartbeat software is not operational, but the ESXI vSwitch is setup correctly.

SLOT TYPE CODE SUFFIX HW VINTAGE FW VINTAGE
---- -------- ---------- ------ ---------- -----------
v1 S8300 ICC E 1 1
