Event Codes

Event Code: 070

Message: E_Port is segmented.

Severity: Informational.

Explanatio A switch E_Port recognized an incompatibility with an attached fabric element (director

n:or switch), preventing the switch from participating in the fabric. A segmented port does not transmit Class 2 or Class 3 traffic (data from attached devices), but transmits Class F traffic (management and control data from the attached director or switch). Refer to the event data for the segmentation reason.

Action:

Action depends on the segmentation reason specified in the event data.

 

 

Event

The first byte of event data (byte 0) specifies the E_Port number. The fifth byte (byte 4)

Data:

specifies the segmentation reason as follows:

 

1 = Incompatible operating parameters. Ether the resource allocation time out value

 

(R_A_TOV) or error detect time out value (E_D_TOV) is inconsistent between the

 

switch and another fabric element (director or switch). Modify the R_A_TOV and

 

E_D_TOV to make the values consistent for all fabric directors and switches.

 

2 = Duplicate domain ID. The switch has the same preferred domain ID as another

 

fabric element (director or switch). Modify the switch’s Domain ID to make it unique.

 

3 = Incompatible zoning configurations. The same name is applied to a zone for the

 

switch and another fabric element (director or switch), but the zones contain different

 

zone members. Modify the zone name to make it unique, or ensure zones with the same

 

name contain identical zone members.

 

4 = Build fabric protocol error. A protocol error was detected during incorporation of

 

the switch into the fabric. Disconnect the E_Port link, reconnect the link, and initial

 

program load (IPL) the switch. If the condition persists, perform the data collection

 

procedure and return the Zip disk to Hewlett Packard support personnel.

 

5 = No principal switch. No director or switch in the fabric can become the principal

 

switch. Modify the switch priority to any value other than 255.

 

6 = No response from attached switch (hello timeout). The switch periodically

 

verifies operation of attached fabric elements (directors or switches). The switch E_Port

 

(at the operational switch) times out and segments if the attached device does not

 

respond. Check the status of the attached director or switch. If the condition persists,

 

perform the data collection procedure (at the attached device) and return the Zip disk to

 

Hewlett Packard support personnel.

 

7 = ELP retransmission failure timeout. A switch that exhibits a hardware or link

 

failure attempted to join a fabric and transmitted multiple exchange link protocol (ELP)

 

frames to a fabric element (director or switch). However, because of the problem, the

 

switch did not receive responses to the ELP frames, and did not receive a fabric login

 

(FLOGI) frame. After five ELP transmission attempts, the switch E_Port (failed switch)

 

times out and segments. Refer to MAP 0000: Start MAP to perform hardware fault

 

isolation at the failed switch.
