Message
Critical DIAG-ERRSTAT (DISCC3), 1
Probable Cause
The Port Error Statistics counter is nonzero, meaning that a “Discarded Class 3
frames” error was detected when receiving frames. This can be caused by a faulty
cable or deteriorated SFP. It can also indicate deeper problems in the motherboard
or ASIC. This message is generated by the portloopbacktest or
spinsilk commands, if problems are found.
Recommended Action
Check for a faulty cable or deteriorated SFP. Replace the cable or SFP if
necessary.
If the problem persists:
For the SAN Switch 2/16, replace the motherboard FRU.
For the SAN Switch 2/8, you must replace the entire switch.
Severity
