SEC System Messages
SEC-1001
Message
Probable
Cause
Indicates that the RCS (reliable commit service) process fails to complete. RCS is a reliable mechanism
to transfer data from one switch to other switches within the fabric. This mechanism guarantees that
either all switches commit to the new database or none of them update to the new database. This process
can fail if one switch in the fabric is busy or in an error state that cannot accept the database.
Recommended
Action
The RCS process is used when the security database using a security command (for example,
secPolicySave, secPolicyActivate, or secVersionReset). If the switch is busy, the command might fail.
Retry the security command.
Run the rcsInfoShow command to view RCS capability on the fabric. RCS must be capable on all
switches in the fabric to be enabled. If all switches are capable, it is automatically enabled.
If the message persists, run supportFtp (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers; then run the
supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.
Severity ERROR
SEC-1002
Message
Probable
Cause
Indicates that the receiving switch fails to validate the security database sent from the primary FCS
switch. This could result from the data package being corrupted, the time stamp on the package is out of
range as a result of replay attack or out-of-sync time service, or the signature verification failed.
Signature verification failure might be due to an internal error, such as losing the primary public key or
an invalid database.
Recommended
Action
Run the secFabricShow command to verify that the fabric is still consistent. All the switches should be
in the ready state. If a switch is in the error state, the database might not be correctly updated for that
switch. The error might also be a result of an internal corruption or a hacker attack to the secure fabric.
