[xxl_1]

my rx 4640 is connected to a eva4000 via a san switch,but on /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log I find a error about fribc?
How to solve it?

the output is :

CURRENT MONITOR DATA:

Event Time..........: Sat Apr 14 09:45:40 2007
Severity............: SERIOUS
Monitor.............: dm_TL_adapter
Event #.............: 23
System..............: nmnd

Summary:
Adapter at hardware path 0/3/2/0 : Fibre Channel driver has gone into
non-participating mode


Description of Error:


lbolt value: 5163

The Fibre Channel Driver has gone into non-participating mode
Frame Manager Status Register = 0x200002ff


Probable Cause / Recommended Action:

A cable or hardware problem exists. This can also be caused due
to the Tachyon TL adapter changing its AL_PA across a LIP.
Do the following:
1. Verify that the fiber optic cable is functional and securely
attached to the Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter.
2. After checking the cabling, execute a loopback test using
fcmsutil.
Command syntax is as follows:
/opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil lb plm
If the problem persists after verifying fiber optic cabling,
replace the adapter

Hi,

The error message appears to contain fairly specific troubleshooting methods...

Can we assume that you've done this and the fault persists ?

Cheers,

Rob

I have executed the command:
/opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/td0 lb plm ï¼
the output indicate the data came back intactã
and I replace the fabic cable,
but the problem also existã

so I should replace the adapterï¼

Hi,

That's what the event details suggest you do... however you might want to get a fault called logged with HP to confirm.
