P2000 HOST_CHAN_PORT_DOWN Error Message

Michael Grech — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 12:37:15 GMT

I have 3 P2000 SAN's, fiber channel, connected to 2 HP SANSwitch 8/8 (brocade 300) switches, that connect to 6 GL370 (ESXi) hosts with QLogic Fiber Channel adapters. Every few days one or two of the SAN's log the following error message:

Subject: P2000 G3 FC Warning: HOST_CHAN_LINK_DOWN

Event:

Host link down. (port: 2)

EVENT ID:#A1071

EVENT CODE:112

EVENT SEVERITY:Warning

EVENT TIME:2011-07-31 10:47:14

System Name:MSA P2000A

System Location:CEC - RIE12

I check the log files and they the port went down, then immediately came back up. I sent the log files to HP's support desk and they said the SAN looks fine so it must be out side of it. I assume one of the Brocade switches or one of the six hosts. Is that assumption correct and does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions? Thank you.

This events are normal, during a reset of port / reboot of server / san switch. If you are aware of any of these happening , there should be no cause of worry.
