706: Fibre Channel clustered system path failure.

Explanation

One or more Fibre Channel (FC) input/output (I/O) ports that have previously been able to see all required online node canisters can no longer see them. This situation has continued for 5 minutes. This error is not reported unless a node is active in a clustered system.

A Fibre Channel I/O port might be established on either a FC platform port or an Ethernet platform port using Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

Data:

Three numeric values are listed:
  • The ID of the first FC I/O port that does not have connectivity. This is a decimal number.
  • The ports that are expected to have connections. This is a hexadecimal number, and each bit position represents a port - with the least significant bit representing port 1. The bit is 1 if the port is expected to have a connection to all online node canisters.
  • The ports that actually have connections. This is a hexadecimal number, each bit position represents a port, with the least significant bit representing port 1. The bit is 1 if the port has a connection to all online nodes.

User Response

  1. If possible, this noncritical node error should be serviced using the management GUI and running the recommended actions for the service error code.
  2. Follow the procedure: Mapping I/O ports to platform ports to determine which platform port does not have connectivity.
  3. There are a number of possibilities.
    • If the port’s connectivity has been intentionally reconfigured, use the management GUI recommended action for the service error code and acknowledge the intended change. You must have at least two I/O ports with connections to all other node canisters, except the node canisters in the same enclosure.
    • Resolve other node errors relating to this platform port or I/O port.
    • Check that the SAN zoning is correct.
Possible Cause: FRUs or other cause:
  • None.
