A director E_Port segmented because the error detect time out value (E_D_TOV)

or resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) is incompatible with the

attached fabric element.

1. Contact HP customer support or engineering personnel to determine the

recommended E_D_TOV and R_A_TOV values for both directors.

2. Notify the customer that both directors will set offline. Ensure the system

administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic through the directors and

sets attached devices offline.

3. Set both directors offline (“Set Offline State” on page 206).

4. At the Hardware View for the first director reporting the problem, click

Configure > Operating Parameters > Fabric Parameters. The Configure

Fabric Parameters dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 29 on page 129.

5. Type the recommended E_D_TOV and R_A_TOV values, then click

Activate.

6. Repeat step 4 and step 5 at the Hardware View for the director attached to the

segmented E_Port (second director). Use the same E_D_TOV and R_A_TOV

values.

7. Set both directors online (“Set Online State” on page 205).

Did the operating parameter change solve the problem, and did both directors join

through the ISL to form a fabric?

NO YES

↓ The directors, associated ISL, and multi-switch fabric are operational.

Exit MAP.

Contact the next level of support. Exit MAP.

A director E_Port segmented because two fabric elements had duplicate domain

IDs.

1. Work with the system administrator to determine the desired domain ID

(1 through 31 inclusive) for each director.

2. Notify the customer that both directors will set offline. Ensure the system

administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic through the directors and

sets attached devices offline.
