Refer to Section 2-23, “Performing an Archive/Restore of a Fabric.”

How do I identify Duplicate Chassis IDs in a Fabric?

If a Chassis ID of a switch has the same value as another switch in the Fabric, only one of the two switches appears in the Topology window and the Logged-in LED on the connection port(s) between the switches blinks rapidly.

What do I do if a Port is in an unknown mode:

Press the Refresh button.

Refer to Section 2-48, second NOTE.

How do I confirm a T-Port connection Failure?

The Topology window shows a line between chassis to represent at least one T_Port Link between chassis. If the application loses its ability to find a T_Port Link, it displays that T_Port Link in Red.

Select a T_Port Link. The application changes the color of the line to Blue when the link is selected. The information at the left side of the window displays detailed T_Port Link information for the selected link.

What do I do if Loading a Flash File (.fls) fails?

Note –Flash files use a naming scheme to represent the switch type to which they apply. Files starting with M08 pertain to 8-port switches. M16 files pertain to 16-port switches.

In the event that the Flash load fails, a dialog box asks whether to try again. The Switch remains operable until a Reset occurs (assuming that the Switch was operating before an attempt to load new Flash code). Trying multiple times to load new Flash code does not upset the operation of the Switch as long as the Switch is not Reset. If a Switch Reset occurs, the Switch tries to use the new Flash code and discovers that it is bad. The Switch then displays a Heartbeat error code of three blinks indicating a Flash Checksum error. The Switch is still able to load new Flash code, but it is not operable until the new code is successfully loaded and the Switch is again Reset. When the Flash load is successful, Reset the Switch to put the new Flash code into operation.

What do I do if Loading a zoning template file fails?

Template file extensions differ depending on the stage type of the switches in the Fabric. If the switches are SL Private Loop stage types, the extension is .tpl. If switches are IO/T stage types, the extension is .tp2.

Make sure to load the correct template file.
