Fibre Channel Synchronization Storm

[Brian T. Borders_1]

I am getting the following error:
Adapter at hardware path 0/4/0/0 : Fibre Channel driver detected a Out of Synchronisation Storm

The server is an N4000 connected to a brocade switch to a xp-256. Can this problem be fixed or is it just an email annoyance. Most of the messages are for this card sometime times I will get a message for both cards
