WWN has changed at nport Id = 0x10700

[grshankar]

Hi Experts,

we have S16K-A server with OS version as B11.11,frequently we are get following error.


Summary:
Adapter at hardware path 1/0/8/0/0: Target WWN no longer acceptable


Description of Error:


lbolt value: -1847383001

World wide name (unique identifier) for following device has
changed
nport Id = 0x10700


Probable Cause / Recommended Action:

Unlike paralled SCSI, Fibre Channel allows easy hot-swapping of disks
Due to address conflicts it is possible for disks to swap loop IDs
accidently when re-plugging them into a hub.
In order to reduce the chance of user data corruption or file system
panics, we normally require the world wide names for a particular device
to stay the same. Requiring the fcmsutil replace_dsk command ensures
that the replacement is intentional.
The driver has detected a new "world-wide name" unique identifier
at a loop position previously occupied by a device with a different
identifier.
If this is due to a deliberate replacement of the
previous device, use the fcmsutil replace_dsk command
to allow the new device to be used. If there has
been no intentional replacing of any devices, check
for conflicts in address assignments of devices on
the loop.
The fcmsutil output show /dev/td3 is fine.
fcmsutil /dev/td3

hi,

check EMS / error messages in syslog.log....

ioscan -fn |grep NO_HW.....

Hi mikap,
There is no hard disk failure nor fc failure.Every thing seem to be fine and in the log it show fcmsutil replace_dsk.
what does it mean

As per doc fc was plugged out& plugged in with new cable . Here fc was not plugged out to use fcmsutil replace_dsk command.

[grshankar]

Any one out there,please help me out.

Run below command on the system,it will solve your problem.

#fcmsutil /dev/td3 replace_dsk 0x10700

[grshankar]

No it's not working for me, it is throughing out error as No Such device or address.

You keep insisting that there is no hardware failure and that no disks were replaced. The "replace_dsk" does NOT replace any disks either. It allows you to clear an UNUSED or MISSING WWN entry in the fiber channel device table.

Take a look at these commands and see if you get any additional details for the device at port 0x10700

fcmsutil /dev/td3 get remote all

fcmsutil /dev/td3 devstat all
