Message
Probable cause
The fabric size exceeds the limit set by your value-line switches. Value-line switches have a limited fabric
size, a specified limit to the number of domains. This value is defined by your specific value-line license
key. The fabric size exceeds this specified limit. The grace-period timer has been initialized. If the grace
period is complete and the size of the fabric is still outside the specified limit, Web Tools is disabled.
Recommended action
Bring the fabric size within the licensed limits. Either a full fabric license must be added or the size of the
fabric must be changed to within the licensed limit. Contact your switch provider to obtain a full fabric
license.

Probable cause
A different flow control mode, as described in the message, is negotiated with the port at the other end of
the link. The flow control is a mechanism of throttling the transmitter port to avoid buffer overrun at the
receiving port. The following are three types of flow control modes:
• VC_RDY mode: Virtual-channel flow control mode. This is a proprietary protocol.
• R_RDY mode: Receiver-ready flow control mode. This is the Fibre Channel standard protocol, which
uses R_RDY primitive for flow control.
