When a failure occurs on a single
Fibre Channel link, the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver might need to be replaced.
The following
items can indicate that a single Fibre Channel link failed:
- The Fibre Channel status LEDs
at the rear of the node canister
Attempt each of these actions, in the following order,
until the failure is fixed.
- Replace the SFP transceiver for
the failing port on the node.
Note: Lenovo Storage V7000 nodes
are supported by both longwave SFP transceivers and shortwave SFP transceivers. You must replace an SFP transceiver with
the same type of SFP transceiver.
If the SFP transceiver to replace is a longwave SFP transceiver,
for example, you must provide a suitable replacement. Removing the
wrong SFP transceiver might result in loss of data access.
- Contact
the Lenovo Support Center for assistance in replacing the node
canister.
