FLOGI/PLOGI

Hello World

I get following error on syslogs:

vmunix: 1/0/14/1/0: Fibre Channel Driver detected a parse error in the FLOGI/PLOGI response
vmunix: returned by nport ID 0xfffffe. FLOGI/PLOGI Fail Code = 0x9.
vmunix: 1/0/6/1/0: Fibre Channel Driver detected a parse error in the FLOGI/PLOGI response
vmunix: returned by nport ID 0xfffffe. FLOGI/PLOGI Fail Code = 0x9.

The server is rp7420 with 11.11.

These errors are coming after someone improperly disconnected a disk array from this server.

I wandering if I use
#fcmsutil /dev/tdx disable
will affect other FC connected to SAN.
I mention actually I have 4 FC and only two of them are used.

Or please advise how can I stop these errors.

Thanks

You might have to work with the SAN and Storage teams in order to isolate the nport ID 0xfffffe which is throwing those errors. It could either be a fabric port or storage array port. After that look at properly zoning and masking the nport in question.

Thanks Sandman,

Just an update

I went to computer room and I found the FC cables connected on server side. I follow up the cable and I found them exposed to light. After I disconnected, the errors stops. Possible conclusion, false signals on FC card or possible a switch sensor to validate cable connected, and searching for signals.

Best regards.

You would have to turn off the switch !

This is a well-known address provided by each switch and
used during FLOGI (Fabric LOGIn).
