Switch configuration blade compatibility
7
Symptom Unable to remove ports from their current switch.
Probable cause and recommended action
When moving ports to a switch, they are first removed from the switch in which they reside. This
error message is displayed if this step fails.
Symptom A non-GE blade is within the slot range.
Probable cause and recommended action
You are attempting to configure a GE port on a slot that does not contain GE ports.
Symptom A port or ports is already in the current switch.
Probable cause and recommended action
You may not move a port to the same switch.
Symptom The maximum number of switches for this platform has been reached.
Probable cause and recommended action
Each platform that supports Virtual Fabrics has a maximum number of logical switches that may be
supported. The platform has reached this limit.
Symptom Unable to create the switch.
Probable cause and recommended action
There was an error while creating the switch.
Symptom A port or ports cannot be moved to the requested switch because it would exceed the 256 area
limit for this switch.
Probable cause and recommended action
The area limit would be exceeded if the lsCfg command were allowed.
Symptom A port or ports cannot be moved to the requested switch because it may only exist in a base or
default switch.
Probable cause and recommended action
You are attempting to move ports on a core blade into a non-default or non-base switch.
Switch configuration blade compatibility
Symptom A slot in the chassis displays a FAULTY(91) in the output of the slotShow command.
Probable cause and recommended action
When an enterprise-class platform is coming up or when a blade is inserted, the switch
configuration is checked based on the blade type. If the configuration does not match with the
blade type, the blade will be faulted. This is displayed as FAULTY(91) in the output of the slotShow
command. All ports on the FR4-18i, both GE and FC, are automatically moved to the default switch.
Use the lsCfg –config command to correct the problem. Once the configuration discrepancy has
been fixed, you may use slotPowerOff followed by slotPowerOn to recover.
