2 Switch message logs Switch message logs Switch message logs (RAS logs) contain information on events that happen on the switch or in the fabric. This is an effective tool in understanding what is going on in your fabric or on your switch. Weekly review of the RAS logs is necessary to prevent minor problems from becoming larger issues, or in catching problems at an early stage. Below are some common problems that can occur with or in your system message log.
Switch boot issues Symptom 2 I2C bus errors are appearing in the switch log. Probable cause and recommended action I2C bus errors generally indicate defective hardware or poorly seated devices or blades; the specific item is listed in the error message. See the Fabric OS Message Reference for information specific to the error that was received. Some Chip-Port (CPT) and Environmental Monitor (EM) messages contain I2C-related information.
2 Switch boot issues • • • • reboot haFailover fastBoot firmwareDownload The RRD feature is activated and halts rebooting when an unexpected reboot reason is shown continuously in the reboot history within a certain period of time. The period of time is switch dependent. The following are considered unexpected reboots: • Reset A reset reboot may be caused by one of the following: - Power-cycle of the switch or CP. Linux reboot command. Hardware watchdog timeout. Heartbeat loss related reboot.
FC-FC routing connectivity 2 Restrictions The following restrictions are applicable on the RRD feature: • • • • The RRD works only on CFOS based systems and is not available on AP blades. If FIPS mode is enabled, then the RRD feature works in record-only mode. Rolling Reboot Detection relies on the bootprom and Linux kernel working properly.
2 FC-FC routing connectivity The fcPing command sends a Fibre Channel ELS ECHO request to a pair of ports. It performs a zone check between the source and destination. In addition, two Fibre Channel Extended Link Service (ELS) requests will be generated. The first ELS request is from the domain controller to the source port identifier. The second ELS request is from the domain controller to the destination port identifiers.
FC-FC routing connectivity 2 Example of one device that accepts the request and another device that rejects the request: switch:admin> fcping 10:00:00:00:c9:29:0e:c4 21:00:00:20:37:25:ad:05 Source: 10:00:00:00:c9:29:0e:c4 Destination: 21:00:00:20:37:25:ad:05 Zone Check: Not Zoned Pinging 10:00:00:00:c9:29:0e:c4 [0x20800] with 12 bytes of data: received reply from 10:00:00:00:c9:29:0e:c4: 12 bytes time:1162 usec received reply from 10:00:00:00:c9:29:0e:c4: 12 bytes time:1013 usec received reply from 10:00:
2 FC-FC routing connectivity • Determines the specific ISLs and internal links with failures. • Exercises all ISL links in the base fabric for a logical fabric configuration. The number of actual paths covered when using the superping tool depends on two other parameters that you can optionally specify. When you issue the fcPing --allpaths command without any other options, superping covers all ISLs in the routes between source to destination.
FC-FC routing connectivity 2 NOTE Superping provides an indication if all ISLs are covered. If all the ISLs are not covered, you can increase the coverage count and maximum retries to transmit, so that complete coverage of all ISLs is achieved. Consider the example below in which a few errors are recorded on ISLs 3/205-->2/25, 3/204-->2/27, 2/42-->101/3, and 2/1-->101/8. But a maximum of 100 percentage errors are recorded on internal port 0/284 on domain 2, which is the potential faulty link.
2 FC-FC routing connectivity • In frame redirection configurations, where there is a physical host, physical target, virtual initiator and virtual target; superping only identifies the path from the physical host to the physical target regardless if the data path consists of the path from physical target to virtual target through the virtual initiator.
FC-FC routing connectivity 2 Timeout: (1..
2 Symptom Host application times out. Probable cause and recommended action The FCR tends to take a long time, more than 5 seconds, to present and setup paths for the proxy devices. Certain hosts are able to do discovery much faster as a result they end up timing out. Use the speed tag feature to always present target proxy to the host and import them faster. This helps sensitive hosts to do a quick discovery without timing out or cause an application failure.

3 Port initialization and FCP auto discovery process • VEX_Port—A virtual EX_Port. It connects a Fibre Channel router to an edge fabric. From the point of view of a switch in an edge fabric, a VEX_Port appears as a normal VE_Port. It follows the same Fibre Channel protocol as other VE_Ports. However, the router terminates VEX_Ports rather than allowing different fabrics to merge as would happen on a switch with regular VE_Ports. Figure 2 shows the process behind port initialization.
Link issues 3 Link issues Symptom Port LEDs are flashing. Probable cause and recommended action Depending on the rate of the flash and the color of the port LED this could mean several things. To determine what is happening on either your port status LED or power status LED, refer to that switch’s model hardware reference manual. There is a table that describes the LEDs purpose and explains the current behavior as well as provides suggested resolutions. Symptom Port LEDs are steady.
3 Connection problems Checking the logical connection 1. Enter the switchShow command. 2. Review the output from the command and determine if the device successfully logged into the switch. • A device that is logically connected to the switch is registered as an F_, L_, E_, EX_, VE_, VEX_, or N_Port. • A device that is not logically connected to the switch will be registered as a G_ or U_Port, if NPIV is not on the switch. 3.

3 Link failures Link failures A link failure occurs when a server, storage, or switch device is connected to a switch, but the link between the devices does not come up. This prevents the devices from communicating to or through the switch. If the switchShow command or LEDs indicate that the link has not come up properly, use one or more of the following procedures. The port negotiates the link speed with the opposite side.
Link failures 3 Checking for a loop initialization failure 1. Verify the port is an L_Port. a. Enter the switchShow command. b. Check the last field of the output to verify that the switch port indicates an L_Port. If a loop device is connected to the switch, the switch port must be initialized as an L_Port. c. Check to ensure that the state is online; otherwise, check for link failures.
3 Marginal links After becoming an active port, the port becomes an F_Port or an E_Port depending on the device on the opposite side. If the opposite device is a host or target device, the port becomes an F_Port. If the opposite device is another switch, the port becomes an E_Port. If there is a problem with the host or target device, enter the portCfgGPort to force the port to try to come up as point-to-point only. Correcting a port that has come up in the wrong mode 1. Enter the switchShow command. 2.
Marginal links 3 Only one frame is transmitted and received at any given time. An external cable is not required to run this test. The port LEDs flicker green rapidly while the test is running. Table 5 shows the different loopback modes you can use when using the portLoopbackTest to test a marginal link.

Device login issues 3 Device login issues A correct login is when the port type matches the device type that is plugged in. In the example below, it shows that the device connected to Port 1 is a fabric point-to-point device and it is correctly logged in an F_Port. switch:admin> switchshow switchName:brcd5300 switchType:64.
3 Device login issues In some cases, you may find that the port has been locked as an L_Port and the device attached is a fabric point-to-point device such as a host or switch. This would be an incorrect configuration for the device and therefore the device cannot log into the switch. To correct this type of problem, remove the Lock L_Port configuration using the portCfgDefault command.

Segmented fabrics TABLE 7 3 Switch component tests Test Function portBeacon Sets port beaconing mode. portLoopbackTest Performs a functional test of port N to N path. Verifies the functional components of the switch. turboRamTest Verifies that the on chip SRAM located in the 4 and 8 Gbps ASIC is using the Turbo-Ram BIST circuitry. This allows the BIST controller to perform the SRAM write and read operations at a much faster rate.
3 Segmented fabrics Reconciling fabric parameters individually 1. Log in to one of the segmented switches as admin. 2. Enter the configShow -pattern “fabric.ops” command. 3. Log in to another switch in the same fabric as admin. 4. Enter the configShow -pattern “fabric.ops” command. 5. Compare the two switch configurations line by line and look for differences. Do this by comparing the two Telnet windows or by printing the configShow -pattern “fabric.ops” output.
Segmented fabrics 3 4. Choose the fabric on which to change the duplicate domain ID; connect to the conflicting switch in that fabric. 5. Enter the switchDisable command. 6. Enter the configure command. 7. When the Fabric Parameters prompt displays, type y. 8. When the Domain prompt displays, type in the new number. 9. Press enter on all prompts to accept their default settings. 10. Enter the switchEnable command.
3 Port mirroring Reconciling incompatible software features Earlier releases of software may not be supported in new versions of Fabric OS code. This may be due to a software feature changing or new services being supported. If you suspect that you are trying to introduce a switch into a fabric that has an older version of code, check the release notes to verify that any features on that switch are supported in the fabric with the newer code.
Port mirroring 3 Port mirroring considerations Before creating port mirror connections, consider the following limitations: • A mirror port can be any port on the same switch as the source identifier port. • Only one domain can be mirrored. After a domain is defined, only mirror ports on the defined domain can be used. The first connection defines the restriction on the domain, which can be either the local domain or a remote domain.
3 Port mirroring Supported platforms Port Mirroring is supported only in FC ports. In general, a platform or blade supporting port mirroring supports both the mirror ports and the mirror connections. Exemptions are listed in Table 8.

3 Port mirroring Adding a port mirror connection 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the portMirror --add slotnumber/portnumber SourceID DestID command. The configuration database keeps information about the number of port mirror connections configured on a switch, the number of chunks of port mirroring data that are stored, and the chunk number. When removing a mirror connection, always use this method to ensure that the data is cleared.
Port mirroring 3 Displaying port mirror connections 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the portMirror --show command.

4 Configupload and download issues • The FTP or SCP server’s IP address cannot be contacted. Verify that you can connect to the FTP server. Use your local PC to connect to the FTP server or ping the FTP server. Example of a successful ping C:\> ping 192.163.163.50 Pinging 192.163.163.50 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.163.163.50: bytes=32 time=5ms TTL=61 Ping statistics for 192.163.163.
Configupload and download issues 4 • On a Virtual Fabric-enabled switch, you do not have the chassis role permission set on your user account. Implement one change at a time, then issue the command again. By implementing one change at a time, you will be able to determine what works and what does not work. Knowing which change corrected the problems will help you to avoid this problem in future endeavors. Symptom The configuration download fails.
4 Configupload and download issues Probable cause and recommended action Verify that the switch was rebooted by checking the system log. If you are doing this on a enterprise-class platform, verify that both CPs rebooted by checking the system log. If any error occurs during the download, such as an error about a particular key, it is important to issue the configDefault command and attempt to repeat the configDownload command.
Brocade configuration form 4 Brocade configuration form Use this form as a hard copy reference for your configuration information. In the hardware reference manuals for the Brocade 48000, DCX, and DCX-4S modular switches there is a guide for FC port setting tables. The tables can be used to record configuration information for the various blades.

5 Firmware download issues Symptom The blade is faulty (issue slotShow to confirm). Probable cause and recommended action If the port or application blade is faulty, enter the slotPowerOff and slotPowerOn commands for the port or application blade. If the port or application blade still appears to be faulty, remove it and re-insert it into the chassis. Symptom The AP blade is stuck in the “LOADING” state (issue slotShow to confirm).
Firmware download issues Symptom 5 Firmwaredownload times out. Probable cause and recommended action This can be caused by an excessively slow network. If it takes more than 30 minutes to download firmware on a switch, or on each CP in a director, the firmware download process times out. If a timeout occurs on a switch, the firmware download process synchronizes the two partitions on the switch by starting a firmware commit operation.

The server is inaccessible or firmware path is invalid. Please make sure the server name or IP address, the user/password and the firmware path are valid. Symptom Cannot download the requested firmware. Probable cause and recommended action The firmware you are trying to download on the switch is incompatible.
Troubleshooting firmwareDownload 5 Troubleshooting firmwareDownload A network diagnostic script and preinstallation check is a part of the firmwareDownload procedure. The script and preinstallation check performs troubleshooting and automatically checks for any blocking conditions. If the firmware download fails, see the Fabric OS Message Reference for details about error messages. Also see, “Considerations for downgrading firmware” on page 58.
5 Considerations for downgrading firmware TABLE 11 USB error handling Scenario under which download fails Error handling Action An access error occurs during firmwaredownload because the removal of the USB device, or USB device hardware failure, etc. Firmwaredownload will timeout and commit will be started to repair the partitions of the CPUs that are affected. See previous table for details. None. USB device is not enabled.
Considerations for downgrading firmware 5 File Name: /home/userfoo/v6.3.0 Network Protocol (1-auto-select, 2-FTP, 3-SCP) [1]: Password: Checking System Settings... Version compatibility check passed. Checking version compatibility... Version compatibility check passed.. The following items need to be addressed before downloading the specified firmware: Downgrade is not allowed because there are more than 2 FX8-24 blades plugged in to the chassis. The limit after downgrade is 2.
5 Considerations for downgrading firmware IPSec on FCIP tunnels requires version v6.3.1 or higher for 7800, and v6.4.0 or higher for FX8-24. Please use "portcfg fciptunnel" to disable IPSec for all FCIP tunnels and try again. Downgrade is not allowed because Persistent PID is enabled. Please use "ag --persistentpidenable 0" to disable the feature before downgrading. Downgrade is not allowed because one or more ports are locked as E-port.Please use "portcfgeport" CLI to remove the lock.
Considerations for downgrading firmware Message 5 The FS8-18 (type 43) blade is not supported by the target firmware. Please use slotshow to find out which slot it is in and remove it first. Probable cause and recommended action The firmware download operation was attempting to downgrade a system to Fabric OS v6.1.1_enc or earlier with one or more Brocade FC8-18 AP blades (blade ID 43) in the system. Brocade Encryption Blade FC8-18 AP blades are not supported on firmware v6.1.
5 Considerations for downgrading firmware Message Downgrade is not allowed because VF is enabled. Please run "lscfg --config" and "lscfg --delete" commands to remove the non-default LS first, then run "fosconfig --disable vf" to disable VF before proceeding. Probable cause and recommended action You cannot downgrade because Virtual Fabrics are enabled. Delete the logical switches, delete the base switch, and disable Virtual Fabrics prior to downgrading the firmware.

6 Device authentication issues Symptom Unable to log into the boot PROM. Probable cause and recommended action To recover a lost boot PROM password, contact your switch service provider. You must have previously set a recovery string to recover the boot PROM password. This does not work on lost or forgotten passwords in the account database. Password recovery options The following table describes the options available when one or more types of passwords are lost.
Protocol and certificate management issues Symptom 6 Switch is unable to form an F_Port. Probable cause and recommended action Regardless of the device authentication policy mode on the switch, the F_Port is disabled if the DH-CHAP protocol fails to authenticate. If the HBA sets the FC-SP bit during FLOGI and the switch sends a FLOGI accept with FC-SP bit set, then the switch expects the HBA to start the AUTH_NEGOTIATE.
6 SNMP issues • If you think this is a policy-related issue, FCS switch or other security server-related issue then use supportSave -n to collect data from the Primary FCS switch and all affected switches.

7 Fabric identification issues • VE_Ports cannot exist in a logical switch that has XISL use turned on. Although VE_Ports are allowed in a base switch, Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later do not support the use of VE_Ports to carry traffic for logical fabrics using XISLs. They can be used to carry FCR traffic through EX_ and VEX_Ports. You should make sure your configuration does not result in the use of VE_Ports in a base switch for logical fabric traffic.
Base switch issues Symptom 7 The switch with domain with firmware version has joined the FID fabric and may not be compatible with XISL use. Probable cause and recommended action This message indicates the specified switch in the logical fabric using XISLs is running an incompatible firmware version and must be upgraded to Fabric OS v6.2.0. Base switch issues All logical switches in a fabric should have the same base switch attribute.
7 Logical switch issues Logical switch issues CAUTION When a logical switch is created, all configuration for the logical switch is set to factory defaults. When a logical switch is deleted, all configuration for the logical switch is deleted permanently and is not recoverable. Symptom The indicated slot is empty. Probable cause and recommended action You used the lsCfg command and an empty slot was specified. Reissue the command with the appropriate slot number.
Switch configuration blade compatibility Symptom 7 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.
7 Switch configuration blade compatibility Gathering additional information For Virtual Fabric-related issues, use the following guidelines to gather additional data for your switch support provider: • Perform the supportSave command. • If not sure about the problem area, perform the supportSave command on all chassis and logical switches in the fabric.

8 Buffer credit issues • • • • Port trunking is disabled. The port is not an E_Port. The port is not 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 8 Gbps. The port connects to a switch other than the one you want it to. To correct this issue, connect additional ISLs to the switch with which you want to communicate. • The ports are not the same speed or they are not set to an invalid speed. Manually set port speeds to a speed supported on both sides of the trunk. • The ports are not set to the same long distance mode.

9 Segmented fabrics If you enter the cfgShow command to display information about all zones, the TI zones appear in the defined zone configuration only and do not appear in the effective zone configuration. 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the zone --show command. zone --show [name] where: name The name of the zone to be displayed. If the name is omitted, the command displays information about all TI zones in the defined configuration.
Zone conflicts Symptom 9 Zone conflict appears in logs and fabric is segmented. Probable cause and recommended action This issue is usually caused by incompatible zoning configurations. Verify the following are true: • The effective cfg (zone set) on each end of the segmented ISL is identical. • Any zone object with the same name has the same entries in the same sequence. Symptom Fabric segmentation is caused by a “configuration mismatch”.
9 Zone conflicts TABLE 14 Commands for debugging zoning (Continued) Command Function cfgEnable Use to enable and activate (make effective) the specified configuration. cfgSave Use to save changes to the zone configuration database. cfgTransAbort Use to abort the current zoning transaction without committing it. cfgTransShow Use to display the ID of the current zoning transaction.
Zone conflicts 9 Changing the default zone access A switch is not allowed to merge with another switch that has an active effective configuration if the default zone is set to “no access”. Before the switch can join, the default zone setting has to be set to "all access". When the default zone no access option is enabled and the active configuration is disabled by using the cfgDisable command, a special hidden configuration with no members is activated.
9 Zone conflicts Checking for Fibre Channel connectivity problems Enter the fcPing command (refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference for more information on this command), which checks the zoning configuration for the two ports specified by: • Generates an ELS (Extended Link Service frame) ECHO request to the source port specified and validates the response. • Generates an ELS ECHO request to the destination port specified and validates the response.

10 Syslogd configuration Syslogd configuration The system logging daemon (syslogd) is an IP-based service for logging system messages made available by default on Unix and Linux operating systems. It is available as a third-party application for Windows operating systems. Fabric OS can be configured to use a UNIX-style syslogd process to forward system events and error messages to log files on a remote host system.
Automatic trace dump transfers 10 3. Verify that the IP address was entered correctly, using the syslogdIpShow command. The syslogdIpadd command accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You can specify up to six host IP addresses for storing syslog messages, as shown in this example: switch:admin> switch:admin> switch:admin> switch:admin> switch:admin> switch:admin> syslogdipadd syslogdipadd syslogdipadd syslogdipadd syslogdipadd syslogdipadd 1080::8:800:200C:417A 1081::8:800:200C:417A 1082::8:800:200C:417A 10.
10 Automatic trace dump transfers • Setting up a periodic checking of the remote server so that you are alerted if the server becomes unavailable and you can correct the problem. After the setup is complete, you can run the supportSave -c command to save RASLog, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data and other diagnostic support information to the server without specifying server details. The following procedures describe the tasks for setting up automatic transfer.
Appendix A Switch Type and Blade ID The switchType is a displayed field listed when you run the switchShow command. When you are gathering information to give to your switch support provider, you may be asked the switch model. If you do not know the model, you can use this chart to convert the switchType to a B-Series model number. switch:admin> switchshow switchName:Sprint5100 switchType:66.

Appendix B Hexadecimal Hexadecimal, or simply hex, is a numeral system with a base of 16, usually written using unique symbols 0–9 and A–F, or a–f. Its primary purpose is to represent the binary code that computers interpret and represent in a format easier for humans to read. It acts as a form of shorthand, in which one hexadecimal digit stands in place of four binary bits. For example, the decimal numeral 79, whose binary representation is 01001111, is 4F (or 4f) in hexadecimal (4 = 0100, F = 1111).
