Virtual connect - error message

Hi,
We have a C7000 blade center and connect to
external brocade san switches.
We got an error message in the gui saying:
status degradin. (se enclosed pic).

Any ideas?

yes you can see it because if the dynamic load balancing is set and the VC is assigning the PWWNs then it automaticaly chooses the functioning paths/links
