McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
Repair Information
This field also displays reasons for Invalid Attachment state:
• 01 Unknown. Invalid attachment reason cannot be determined.
• 02 ISL connection not allowed on this port. Port is configured as an
F_Port, but connected to switch or director.
• 03 ELP rejected by the attached switch. This director/switch
transmitted an exchange link protocol (ELP) frame that was
rejected by the switch at the other end of the ISL.
• 04 Incompatible switch at the other end of the ISL. Interop mode for
this switch is set to Open Fabric mode and the switch at the other
end of the ISL is a McDATA switch configured for McDATA
Fabric mode.
• 05 External loopback adapter connected to the port. A loopback plug.
is connected to the port and there is no diagnostic test running.
• 06 N_Port connection not allowed on this port. The port type
configuration does not match the actual port use. Port is
configured as an E_Port, but attaches to a node device.
• 07 Non-McDATA switch at other end of the ISL. The cable is
connected to a non-McDATA switch and interop mode is set to
McDATA fabric mode.
• 08 ISL connection not allowed on this port. The port type
configuration does not match the actual port use (the port is
configured as an F_Port, but attaches to a switch or director).
• 10 Port binding violation - unauthorized WWN. The WWN entered
to configure port binding is not valid or a nickname was used that
is not configured through the Product Manager for the attached
device.
• 11 Unresponsive node connected to port. Possible causes are:
— Hardware problem on switch or on a connected node where
ELP frames are not delivered, the response is not received, or a
fabric login in (FLOGI) cannot be received. There may be
problems in switch SBAR.
— Faulty or dirty cable connection.
— Faulty host bus adapters that do not send out FLOGI within
reasonable time frame.
