Event Code Tables
Event Code: 070
Message: E_Port has become segmented
Severity: Informational
Explanation: E_Port has recognized an incompatibility with the switch connected to the other end of the link, preventing the
two fabrics from joining. Segmented E_Ports will not carry Class 2 or Class 3 traffic (traffic from attached
devices), but will carry Class F traffic (traffic originating from the switch for management and control). See the
Event Data for the Segmentation Reason Code.
Action: Action depends on the segmentation reason code in the Event Data.
Event Data: Byte 0: The port number of the E_Port.
Byte 4: The Segmentation Reason Code.
01 = Incompatible operating parameters. Either the R_A_TOV or E_D_TOV values are inconsistent
between the two fabrics. Modify the operating parameters to make the R_A_TOV and
E_D_TOV values the same for both fabrics.
02 = Duplicate domain ID(s). One or more Domain ID conflicts have been detected. Modify the
operating parameters and set the Preferred Domain ID to a value that is unique in the fabric.
03 = Incompatible zoning configurations. The same zone name has been recognized in each fabric,
but the two zones contain different members. Modify the active zone set in one of the fabrics to
make certain all of the zone names are unique between the fabrics to be joined.
04 = Build fabric protocol error. A protocol error was detected during formation of a fabric.
Investigate the state of the neighboring E_Port. Optionally, disconnect then reconnect the link
connecting the two switches. An IML or IPL will not correct the problem. If the condition
persists, perform the data collection procedure for the switch using the EFC Manager, and
return the CD to McDATA for analysis.
05 = No principal switch. No switch in the fabric is capable of becoming the principal Switch. Modify
the operating parameters and set the switch priority to any value other than 255.
06 = Hello timeout. There is no response from attached switch. Periodically each switch performs a
simple test to verify that the attached switch is operational. The E_Port times out and segments
if the attached switch does not respond properly. Check the operational status of the switch
connected to the other end of the link. If the condition persists, perform the data collection
procedure for the switch using the EFC Manager, and return the CD to McDATA for analysis.
