Maintenance Analysis Procedures (MAPS)

The port connection conflicts with the configured port type. Either an

expansion port (E_Port) is incorrectly cabled to a Fibre Channel

device or a fabric port (F_Port) is incorrectly cabled to a fabric

element (director or switch).

a. At the management server Hardware View, click Configure and

select Ports. The Configure Ports dialog box displays.

b. Use the vertical scroll bar as necessary to display the

information row for the port indicating an invalid attachment.

c. Select (click) the Type field and configure the port from the list

box as follows:

• Select fabric port (F_Port) if the port is cabled to a device

(node).

• Select expansion port (E_Port) if the port is cabled to a fabric

element (director or switch) to form an ISL.

d. Click Activate to save the configuration information and close the

window.

Did reconfiguring the port type solve the problem?

NO YES

↓ The director appears operational. Exit MAP.

and is connected to a fabric element not configured to Open

Fabric 1.0 mode.

and is connected to a legacy McDATA director or switch at the

revision level.
