ERROR

This message occurs when the cable attached to SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) adapter port is functioning in a degraded mode.

This condition implies one or more of the lanes in a 4-wide cable is fuctioning at a less-than-optimal speed, or is not functioning and has been disabled. The port will continue functioning but in a degraded, lower-performing mode. The cable should be replaced at some point in the future.

Cable attached to SAS port "%s" is functioning in a degraded mode.

adapterName (STRING): The name of the associated SAS host bus adapter.

NOTICE

This message occurs when the expander or cable attached to the SAS (serial-attached SCSI) host bus adapter port is functioning at a speed lower than its specification. This could happen because the HBA is connected to an IOM that supports a lower speed, or because of a speed degradation due to a faulty component, or because of a lower common shelf stack speed.

(None).

Expander or cable attached to SAS port %s is operating at %s, which is lower than expected.

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated SAS host bus adapter.
currentSpeed (STRING): Current link rate for SAS host bus adapter, cable, and IOM expander.

EMERGENCY

This message occurs when a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cable attached to a controller port has not been qualified by NetApp. Unqualified cables might exhibit unpredictable behavior or experience higher error rates than qualified cables.

Replace the cable with one qualified by NetApp

Cable attached to SAS port %s has not been qualified by NetApp

adapterName (STRING): Name of the associated SAS host bus adapter port.
