2016: A host port has more than four logins to a node

Explanation

More than 4 logins have been made to at least one host port or WWPN on at least one node. The network might not be zoned correctly.

User Response

Complete the following steps. If at any point you need additional assistance, contact your service support representative.

  1. Create a list of the problem hosts , WWPNs, and nodes:
    1. Run the svcinfo lsfabric -host command and parse the output into a human readable format.
    2. Sort by WWPN, then by node.
    3. For any WWPN and node combination that shows more than 4 logins:
      1. Get the host port mask from the mask field of the lshost detailed view.
      2. Ignore any row where the local_port field does not match the appropriate bit in the host port mask.
      3. Make a note of any hosts that still show more than 4 logins after the host port mask is applied.
  2. Fix the issue either by changing the zoning or by changing the host port mask.
  3. The event will auto-fix when all of the host ports have login counts of 4 or less on every node.
