376 Director 2/64 Service Manual

Event Code: 509

Message: Fibre Channel path failure.

Severity: Major.

Explanation: One or more of the backplane data paths has been removed from service, thus

reducing the bandwidth capabilities of the associated port. This does not prevent the

port from frame reception or transmission, but it does limit the potential throughput

of the port.

Normally the amber Service Required LED on the port associated with the failing

path is illuminated to indicate the degraded status. The green port LED may or may

not be illuminated based on the status of the link.

Action: Replace the port card on which the failed path resides with a functional port (UPM)

card of the same type. Perform a data collection operation of this director using the

HAFM

application, saving the data file to the HAFM appliance Zip drive. Return the

failed port card and the data file to the manufacturer for analysis and repair. A

failed path may also be recovered by performing a port reset with the

HAFM

application, however any newly detected errors may cause the path to re-fail.

Event Data: Byte 0 = port number (00 through 63).

Byte 1 = engineering reason code.

Bytes 4 - 7 = elapsed millisecond tick count.
