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