4. Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the
fabric using the Show Config Switch command, or click the Switch tab and
Advanced icon in QuickTools. Is each timeout value the same on every
switch?
Yes - Continue.
No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the
Set Config Switch CLI. Reset the port. If the condition remains,
continue.
5. Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active
command, or click the Active Zoneset tab in QuickTools. Compare the zone
membership between the two active zone sets. Are they the same?
Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.
No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones
so that their membership is the same, then reset the port. If the
condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
Excessive Port Errors
The switch can monitor a set of port errors and generate alarms based on
user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the
following:
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors
Decode errors
ISL connection count
Device login errors
Device logout errors
Loss-of-signal errors
Port threshold alarm monitoring is disabled by default. Refer to the SANbox
5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for
information about managing port threshold alarms.
NOTE:
E_Port isolation can be caused by merging two fabrics whose
active zone sets have two zones with the same name, but
different membership.
