fc card error message

[Gurumanickam]

hi all

I'm getting the following error in syslog

Jan 4 15:41:09 marc EMS [8967]: ------ EMS Event Notification ------ Value: "
SERIOUS (4)" for Resource: "/adapters/events/TL_adapter/0_9_0_0" (Threshold:

CURRENT MONITOR DATA:

Event Time..........: Thu Jan 4 15:41:09 2007
Severity............: SERIOUS
Monitor.............: dm_TL_adapter
Event #.............: 23
System..............: marc

Summary:
Adapter at hardware path 0/9/0/0 : Fibre Channel driver has gone into
non-participating mode


Description of Error:


lbolt value: 4193

The Fibre Channel Driver has gone into non-participating mode
Frame Manager Status Register = 0xa002d4b0


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

How to resolve this problem? help me?

Thanks in advance

You seem to have a problem with that card. Execute the command it says and post. Also try checking following.

fcmsutil /dev/tdx stat -s

/opt/resmon/bin/resdata -R 587661314 -r /adapters/events/TL_adapter/0_9_0_0 -n 587661313 -a

hi RAC

I'm getting the following message:

Thanks for the reply

Hi.

This is often an indication that either the fibre cable itself has been disconnected or the device on the other end of the cable has been switched off or reset. I have never had this error with a fault on the local card.

Was this a single error or does it repeat?

hi,

I got this message yesterday, only one time at 15:24

Hi.

Run fcmsutil /dev/td0

If the driver state is ONLINE then the link is up and you have no worries since it has reset itself.

If the driver state is not, then you need to check the actual connection to the FC HBA and see if the actual link light is on.

Is /dev/td0 the only FC HBA you have?

If you have more than 1 then run ioscan -funC fc to get the full listing of all the devices in the kernel. Check the hardware paths to make sure /dev/td0 is the correct one you are looking at.

If the link remains down any hardware attached to the other end of the cable should show up as NO_HW when you run an ioscan -fn. Check that that equipment is powerred on and the fibre connections are good.

I suspect though you have nothing to worry about unless this problem recurs frequently.
