Fabric OS 5.0.0 diagnostics and system error messages reference guide 165
Severity
INFO
FW-1218
Message
Probable cause
The number of CRC errors rose above the high boundary. This indicates that errors were detected in the
FC frame. Invalid CRC messages occur when the number of CRC errors in Fibre Channel frames for
specific source ID (S_ID) and destination ID (D_ID) pairs change. These messages may also be caused by
dirty equipment, temperature fluctuations, and aging equipment.
Recommended action
1. Set your high boundaries to five- or six-digit figures; only large numbers of messages indicate a
problem in this area.
2. When an above-the-boundary message is received, check for a faulty cable or deteriorated SFP.
3. Replace the cable or SFP if necessary.
4. Try cleaning the connectors.
5. Check for damage from heat and deterioration from age.

Respond to this message as is appropriate for the relevant policy of the end-user installation. Set your
