4–Diagnostics/Troubleshooting FC Port Diagnostics

4.Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the fabric using the Show Config Switch command or the Switch data tab of the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 topology display. Are the timeout values the same?

Yes - Continue.

No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the Set Config Switch command or the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 Switch Properties dialog. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.

5.Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active command or the Active Zoneset tab of the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 topology display. Compare the zone membership between the two active zone sets. Are they the same?

Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.

No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones so that their membership is the same. Reset the port. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.

NOTE:

This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active zone sets have two zones with the same name, but different membership.

Excessive Port Errors

The switch monitors a set of port errors and generates alarms based on user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the following:

Device CRC errors

Device decode errors

Device ISL connection count

Device login errors

Device logout errors

Device loss-of-signal errors

Port threshold alarm monitoring is disabled by default. Refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide for information about managing port threshold alarms.
