4. Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the
fabric using the Show Config Switch command. 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. 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. Reset the port. If the condition
remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
5.2.2.2
Excessive Port Errors
The switch can monitor a set of port errors and generates alarms based on
user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the
following:
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 5000
Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for information about
managing port threshold alarms.
NOTE: This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active
zone sets have two zones with the same name, but
different membership.
