Re: The Fibre Channel Controller in Slot 1 has a new status of 6.

 

The Fibre Channel Controller in Slot 1 has a new status of 6.

Hi we are receiving the following error in our eventvwr log.
Fibre Channel Controller Status Change. The Fibre Channel Controller in Slot 1 has a new status of 6.
(Host controller status values: 1=other, 2=ok, 3=failed, 4=shutdown, 5=connectionDegraded, 6=connectionFailed)
[SNMP TRAP: 16028 in CPQFCA.MIB]

We also see the following in the system management homepage; state as degraded

Qlogic QMH2462 4GB FC HBA for HP c-Class Blade System

Status: loop failed
Location: slot 1
Serial Number: MY56502093
World Wide Port Name: 50060B00006BC5E4
World Wide Node Name: 50060B00006BC5E5
Firmware Version: 4.00.23
Option ROM Version: 1.16
Storage systems: none
Tape Controllers: none

The server is Proliant BL465c G1 and it's running on Windows Server 2003 R2 Std Edition, SP2

Is the HBA card faulty OR need to do an firmware update?

Appreciate and thanks a ton if you guys can help me in this matter.

cheers

Re: The Fibre Channel Controller in Slot 1 has a new status of 6.

Not sure that either one of those are necessary right now. Is this a valid error? Can you see the storage from the blade? Are you also getting an error from the driver? Has the fiber cabling been checked for the possibility of potentially being disconnected?
The truth is out there, but I forgot the URL..

This is the only error I can see in the event logs;
Fibre Channel Controller Status Change. The Fibre Channel Controller in Slot 1 has a new status of 6.
(Host controller status values: 1=other, 2=ok, 3=failed, 4=shutdown, 5=connectionDegraded, 6=connectionFailed)
[SNMP TRAP: 16028 in CPQFCA.MIB]

we are supporting this server remotely so physical visibility is not valid. We can see the disks from computer mgmt.

We have checked with our SAN team and they said there's nothing wrong with the physical connection between switches,fiber and SAN. connection. They said the error comes from the server itself.

I suspect you would see a slightly different error if the problem was with a redundant path. It appears that it's only being report this way by the agents. Have you tried unstalling the agents, then reinstalling? Typcially a reboot is required after the uninstall.

These would be the HP management agents. They will be listed under add/remove programs as "HP Insight Management Agents".

Re: The Fibre Channel Controller in Slot 1 has a new status of 6.

Are they tied to hp system management homepage?
If I uninstall those agents do I need reinstall the system management homepage as well?

thanks for the prompt feedback.

Re: The Fibre Channel Controller in Slot 1 has a new status of 6.

The system management homepage will not work correctly without them. I believe the problem is with the agents, but it won't hurt to remove the SMH at the same time. I would recommend reinstalling that after you reinstall the agents.

Again, thanks.

By the way do you know where to download these agents for this server or they comes with the PSP package?
