status (INTHEX): Status returned from the adapter.

ERROR

This message occurs when the Fibre Channel adapter cannot log in with the fabric name server.

The driver will attempt to recover from this error but if this error keeps occurring make sure that the switch is configured correctly, and then try disconnecting and then reconnecting the adapter to the switch.

Fibre Channel adapter %s was unable to log in with the fabric name server for reason 0x%x.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.
status (INTHEX): Status returned from the adapter.

ERROR

This message occurs when the Fibre Channel adapter returns an unexpected status for a fabric query.

The driver will attempt to recoverf rom this error but if this error keeps occurring make sure that the switch is configured correctly, and then try disconnecting and then reconnecting the adapter to the switch.

Fibre Channel adapter %s returned unexpected status 0x%x for a fabric query.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.
status (INTHEX): Status returned from the adapter.

ALERT

This message occurs when the Fibre Channel adapter driver cannot recover the adapter after resetting it multiple times. The adapter will be put offline.

If the adapter is in use check the cabling, and if it is connected to disk shelves check the seating of the LRC/ESH cards and disks. If the problem keeps occurring try replacing the adapter. If the issue is still not resolved, contact NetApp technical support for assistance in diagnosing a Fibre Channel issue.

Failed to recover Fibre Channel HBA %s after multiple resets. Taking the adapter offline.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.
reason (STRING): Diagnostic information.

NOTICE

This message occurs when a firmware fault is detected on the Fibre Channel adapter and it is being reset to recover.

(None).

Detected firmware fault 0x%x on Fibre Channel adapter %s.

faultCode (INTHEX): Firmware fault code.
adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

NOTICE

This message occurs when a firmware fault is detected on the Fibre Channel adapter and it is being reset to recover.

(None).

Detected firmware fault 0x%x on Fibre Channel adapter %s.

faultCode (INTHEX): Firmware fault code.
adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

INFORMATIONAL

This message occurs when a Fibre Channel adapter reports online link status, usually after the adapter is reset successfully.

(None).

Fibre Channel adapter %s link online.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

NOTICE

This message occurs following a management request from the Fibre Channel(FC) driver to the host bus adapter.

(None).

Fibre Channel adapter driver notification: "%s" on adapter %s.

info (STRING): Description of the outcome.
adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated FC host bus adapter.

ALERT

This message occurs when ONTAP® software cannot read the NVRAM content of a Fibre Channel adapter. This might cause ONTAP to load an incorrect driver, which could cause the adapter not to work as intended. In addition, the World Wide Node Name (WWNN) and the World Wide Port Name (WWPN) will be incorrect and temporary ones will be assigned. This might cause fabric zoning not to work correctly and might cause problems with anything that depends on consistent WWNNs and WWPNs.

Reboot the appliance. If the problem still exists, replace the adapter.

Cannot read NVRAM content of Fibre Channel adapter %s.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

INFORMATIONAL

This message occurs when the system takes a Fibre Channel adapter offline.

(None).

Fibre Channel adapter %s is now offline.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

INFORMATIONAL

This message occurs when the system takes a Fibre Channel adapter offline after all outstanding I/O requests have finished.

(None).

Taking Fibre Channel adapter %s offline.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

INFORMATIONAL

This message occurs when the system brings a Fibre Channel adapter online.

(None).

Fibre Channel adapter %s is now online.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

ERROR

This message occurs when a Fibre Channel adapter fails to come online.

If the adapter is in use check the cabling, and if it connected to disk shelves check the seating of the LRC/ESH cards.

Fibre Channel adapter %s failed to come online.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

INFORMATIONAL

This message occurs when the Fibre Channel adapter begins the process of going online.

(None).

Onlining Fibre Channel adapter %s.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

INFORMATIONAL

This message occurs when speed auto- negotiation for the Fibre Channel port is disabled because the administrator used either the 'ispfc-force-XG-only?' or the 'mptfc-force-XG-only?' boot argument in conjunction with the 'fc-force-XG-ports' boot argument to force a particular speed. For example, setting 'ispfc-force-2G-only?' to 'true' and setting 'fc-force-2G-ports' to '0a,0c' would force ports 0a and 0c to operate at a rate of 2 Gigabits per second.

(None).

The speed of Fibre Channel adapter port %s was forced to %u Gbps by link speed related boot arguments.

port (STRING): Name of the adapter port.
speed (INT): Speed the adapter port was assigned.

INFORMATIONAL

This message occurs when topology auto- negotiation for the Fibre Channel port is disabled because the administrator used either the 'fc-force-ptp-ports' or the 'fc-force-loop-ports' boot argument to force a particular topology.

(None).

Fibre Channel adapter port %s was forced to negotiate its topology as %s by topology-related boot arguments.

port (STRING): Name of the adapter port.
topo (STRING): Topology the adapter port was assigned.
