ISL Disconnect Causes NOS Error with the OpenVMS
Operating Systems
When an ISL connection is physically removed between directors or switches, the
Fibre Channel Adapter model FCA2354 transmits a Not Operational Sequence (NOS)
error. This is observed as an entry in the HAF server Link incident log for the port in
which the FCA2354 is attached. The director’s Hardware View also displays a yellow
triangle icon over the port that detected this incident. The fabric operation or data
movement is not disrupted by these incidents, which can be cleared using the
following procedure.
Workaround
Use these steps to clear the incident alerts.
1. At the HAFM Hardware View, click the port module to open the Port Card
View.
2. Right click on the port with the yellow triangle icon, and choose Clear Link
Incident Alert(s).
Reviewing the Change Screen
Verify that all changes entered have been accepted by reviewing the change screen
(presented when the new settings are activated).
Disconnecting the Null Modem Cable
Always log-out and disconnect the Null Modem cable from the serial maintenance
port when not in use or when the switch is reset.
Updating Earlier Version of Firmware
FW that predates the 1.3/1.4 FW release must first be updated to a 1.3 FW version or
higher before the final update to 2.00.00_33 or 2.00.02_1 can be completed.
Using the Same Firmware
All switches and directors managed by HAFM should have the same FW level
installed -- whether 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps capable.
