Fabric OS Message Reference 177

FW-1162
27
FW-1162
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1162], <sequence-number>,, WARNING, <system-name>, <Port Name>,
<Label>, is above high boundary(High=<High value>, Low=<Low value>). Current value
is <Value> <Unit>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has risen above the high
boundary. Link loss errors occur when a link experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical
and hardware problems can cause link loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of
synchronization. Check for concurrent loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable,
troubleshoot them.
Recommended
Action
Check both ends of your cable connection. Verify that the cable and small form-factor pluggables
(SFPs) are not faulty.
Losses of synchronization commonly cause link failures. If you receive concurrent loss of
synchronization errors, troubleshoot the loss of synchronization.
Severity WARNING
FW-1163
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1163], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, <Port Name>,
<Label>, is between high and low boundaries(High=<High value>, Low=<Low value>).
Current value is <Value> <Unit>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has changed from a value
outside of the acceptable range to a value within the acceptable range. Link loss errors occur when
a link experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical and hardware problems can cause link
loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of synchronization. Check for concurrent
loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable, troubleshoot them.
Recommended
Action
No action is required. Respond to this message as is appropriate to the particular policy of the
end-user installation.
Severity INFO
FW-1164
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1164], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, <Port Name>,
<Label>, value has changed(High=<High value>, Low=<Low value>). Current value is
<Value> <Unit>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the number of synchronization losses that the port experiences has changed. Loss of
synchronization errors frequently occur due to a faulty small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or cable.
Signal losses often create synchronization losses.
Recommended
Action
Check both ends of your cable connection. Verify that the cable and small form-factor pluggables
(SFPs) are not faulty.
If you continue to experience synchronization loss errors, troubleshoot your host bus adaptor (HBA)
and contact your switch service provider.
