25-24 Fabric OS Message Reference
Publication Number: 53-1000242-01
FW-1163
25
Probable
Cause
Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has risen above the high boundary.
Link loss errors occur when a link experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical and hardware
problems can cause link loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of synchronization.
Check for concurrent loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable, troubleshoot them.
Recommended
Action
Check both ends of your cable connection. Verify that the cable and SFPs are not faulty.
Losses of synchronization commonly cause link failures. If you receive concurrent loss of
synchronization errors, troubleshoot the loss of synchronization.
Severity WAR NIN G
FW-1163
Message
Probable
Cause
Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has changed from a value outside of
the acceptable range to a value within the acceptable range. Link loss errors occur when a link
experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical and hardware problems can cause link loss errors.
Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of synchronization. Check for concurrent loss of
synchronization errors and, if applicable, troubleshoot them.
Recommended
Action
No action is required. Respond to this message as is appropriate to the particular policy of the end-user
installation.
Severity INFO
FW-1164
Message
Probable
Cause
Indicates that the number of synchronization losses that the port experiences has changed. Loss of
synchronization errors frequently occur due to a faulty SFP or cable. Signal losses often create
synchronization losses.
Recommended
Action
Check both ends of your cable connection. Verify that the cable and SFPs are not faulty.
If you continue to experience synchronization loss errors, troubleshoot your HBA and contact your
switch service provider.
