Fabric OS 5.x diagnostics and system error messages reference guide 231
Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of DCC violations has changed. DCC violations indicate that an unauthorized
device tried to join the fabric. The DCC_POLICY allows for the specification of rules for binding device
ports (typically HBA ports) to specific switch ports. DCC policies ensure that whenever a device performs
an FLOGI request, the WWN specified in the FLOGI is validated to be connected to the authorized port.
Enforcement for private loop devices not performing FLOGI is done through the name server.
Recommended Action
Run the errShow command to determine the device WWN, switch WWN, and switch port. Responses to
security-class messages depend on user policies. Consult your security administrator for response strategies
and policies.
