Software Problem Areas
ServerNet 
communication
Communication 
on an external 
fabric is disrupted.
Use OSM to check for alarms and repair actions 
for the External Fabric resource. See Using 
OSM Alarms on page 3-11.
Use the Node Connectivity ServerNet Path Test. 
See Checking the External ServerNet X and Y 
Fabrics on page 3-23.
Communication 
on an external 
fabric is disrupted 
by:
•
BTE timeouts
•
CRC 
checksum 
errors
•
TPB errors
These symptoms 
appear in event 
messages or 
statistics.
One of the fiber-optic cable connections might 
be faulty. Reseat or replace the fiber-optic cable 
connecting the MSEB with the switch port. See 
Replacing a Fiber-Optic Cable Between an 
MSEB and a Switch-to-Node Port on page 3-31.
ServerNet 
Communication
Communication 
with a remote 
node is disrupted.
Use OSM to check for alarms and repair actions 
for the Remote Node resource. See Using OSM 
Alarms on page 3-11.
Verify that SNETMON is operating properly. See 
Troubleshooting SNETMON
 on page 3-13.
Verify that SANMAN is operating properly. See 
Troubleshooting SANMAN
 on page 3-15.
Perform the Node Responsive Test. Checking 
Communications With a Remote Node on 
page 3-18.
The OSM Service 
Connection shows 
the remote node 
name as 
\Remote_Node_\n
nn, where nnn is 
the Expand node 
number.
Verify that the Expand-over-ServerNet line-
handler processes between the local node and 
the remote node are up. See Troubleshooting 
Expand-Over-ServerNet Line-Handler 
Processes and Lines on page 3-16.
