An E_Port segmented because the error detect time out value
(E_D_TOV) or resource allocation time out value (R_A_TOV) is
incompatible with the attached fabric element.
a. Contact customer support or engineering personnel to determine
the recommended E_D_TOV and R_A_TOV values for both

segmented E_Port). Use the same E_D_TOV and R_A_TOV
values.
